The gift of an ordinary life

Abstract

Jesus modeled over and over what it means to see the whole human in every body. He modeled hospitality’s ultimate design, one that sees each human as equal in status, equal in worth, and fully able to be a part of God’s enlivening work in the world as part of a community. Through Jesus’s work, we can see one another in new ways, allowing for mutual relationship between us all. This is something that we keep working toward, together, in our bodies, in whatever shape they are in and with whatever abilities they have. Because in all of them, we are whole, and we belong to one body, the church.
