As Jesus is the cornerstone upon which the Church is built, so are his teachings the unifying cornerstone of Christian doctrine.

Dirty Jobs

Dirty Jobs 


The show on TV about dirty jobs sometimes fascinates and often repulses. Many of us are unwilling to do dirty jobs and yet at times they pay very high compensation. Jesus, as God with us, was willing to be born in a filthy stable, share life with a corrupt humanity and die a horrible death to rescue us all. He could have continued to live in the universe's most opulent luxury with best angelic company, but he was rescuing lost sheep. He was criticized for spending time with degenerate people in order to help them. Part of his reply was the parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15:4-7. He was quite willing to search for lost souls anywhere, even if it was at times a dirty job. How many of us are willing to look for the lost everywhere except the dirty places, precisely where most lost sheep congregate?
