Seeking human kindness
“How can we worship a homeless man on Sunday and ignore those homeless on
Monday.”

It’s not just Jesus who had nowhere to lay his head. This week in Perth, people
sleeping rough were “hosed down like animals”.
1 in 200 Australians are homeless, and a quarter of these are under the age of
18. Those sleeping rough are statistically at far higher risk of physical assault,
sexual abuse and deprivation. Funding for homeless shelters is inadequate,
and thousands are turned away every night. These people often have nowhere
else to go.
Jesus is found amongst those society considers the "least of these" and asks us to
stand with them.
