are Live Streamed Every time we exploit another person for our own bene-
fit, we in effect claim that God was wrong to create each
person with equal dignity and value; instead, we claim that
our life is somehow more worthy in God’s eyes than the life
of another.
The dignity with which God creates every human person
cannot be forfeited or annulled. Committing a crime may be
unworthy of our dignity as a creation of God, but it does not
change that dignity. Sinfulness may ignore but does not
reduce our own dignity as a creation of God.
Jesus reached out to sinners, tax collectors, the Samaritan
woman, the woman caught in adultery, lepers, gentiles, Ca-
naanites, the blind, deaf, and lame. One of His last breaths
was spent welcoming a convicted capital criminal into Para-

for who He is and devote our labors exclusively to God’s
kingdom and the justice, peace, or order God envisions. In
giving back to God all that belongs to God, we set the axis of
our lives correctly and put our priorities in proper order. All of

really are. Using, accumulating, wasting, exploiting, hording,
