Jesus is given to the
world. He was chosen, blessed, and
broken to be given. Jesus' life and
death were a life and death for others.
The Beloved Son of God, chosen from all eternity, was broken on the
cross so that this one life could multiply and become food for people of all
places and all times.
As God's beloved
children we have to believe that our little lives, when lived as God's chosen
and blessed children, are broken to be given to others. We too have to become bread for the
world. When we live our brokenness under
the blessing, our lives will continue to bear fruit from generation to
generation.
