Can you even imagine...?

Imagine a person who has billions of dollars in net worth hanging out for the day with an illegal immigrant farm worker. Then imagine him deciding to transfer every last penny of his holdings into this produce-picker’s control, becoming destitute himself in the process. Would you say he did a loving thing?

Now imagine that the President of the United States of America decided to spend the afternoon sitting and talking with a homeless man. Then, imagine that he let that man come stay in the White House while he, himself, stayed in the cardboard box the man had been living in. Would you say he did a loving thing?

The funny thing about both of these examples is that neither the billionaire nor the President are more essentially valuable than the social outcasts they traded places with. All of them are human. That’s why the almost unimaginable love they showed in my examples shrinks to virtually nothing in comparison with the truly incomprehensible display of love given by God on the Cross.
