Our religion can heal the healable, believe the believable, love the lovable and it seems to have been on this day that the man Jesus Christ was walloped with the fact that the only way for Him to save the unsavable, love the unlovable, and forgive the unforgivable would be to leave behind all of the structures of religion and charity which had come before Him. These things were not and are not bad in themselves, the Law is holy and just and good, but they were encumbrances which He threw aside to run the race before Him. Taking care of the 99 sheep who only need a guide, a friend, or an example is a perfectly laudable thing. But the Good Shepherd had to leave them in order to do anything for that one desperate case who needs a full blown redeemer. If it seems strange that good laws and rules and systems have to be scorned and cast away remember that Abraham threw his first born son, Ishmael, out into the desert without even a sandwich or a Gatorade, not because there was any fault in him or because his father didn’t love him but simply and solely because he was the son of the bondwoman and a potential obstacle to the son of the free woman inheriting and obtaining the promise. He will always go outside the camp, outside the church, because you aren’t just a black sheep. You are His black sheep.
