"It is a scandal"

"Atheism (Christianity) has been specially advanced through the loving service rendered to strangers, and through their care for the burial of the dead. It is a scandal that there is not a single Jew who is a beggar; and that the godless Galileans care not only for their own poor but for ours as well; while those who belong to us look in vain for the help that we should render them."
Roman Emperor Julian


May the kind of Christianity we practice be scandalous. May it be compelling to all who witness the love that we share.
