Difficult is worth doing

Honda's latest advert slogan for the new Accord is Difficult is worth doing. There stunt was a live advert on Channel 4. It consisted of a load of people sky diving spelling the word H O N D A in mid air. It looked great, you can see it at this link: http://www.honda.co.uk/accord/

Yesterday, as I saw the poster with these slogan I was reading these words:
"Literally half of God's children on this earth, three billion people, live on less than two dollars a day. And more than one billion people live on less than one dollar per day." (Wallis, Seven Ways to change the World:90).

If difficult is worth doing then why aren't we doing something about this grim statistic. Why am I not doing anything about it? In this chapter, entitled Inclusion and Opportunity, Jim Wallis urges Christians, governments and other faiths to interact with the poor. It is only then that policies and attitudes will change.

God saw the injustice in the world so sent in Jesus to do the difficult, do the impossible. He cam down on to earth and fought for justice, freedom and equality. He out His life on the line. His death was not limited to salvation of souls but the liberty of society from the hold of dictators, oppress and the greedy. What has changed. Nothing, we are the ones that must act and act fast.
