                                  THE UNGRATEFUL SCORPION
                                                         Matthew 5:1-12

          Henri Nouwen told a parable about an old man who used to meditate each day be the Ganges River in India.
          One morning he saw a scorpion floating on the water. When the scorpion drifted near the old man he reached to rescue it but was stung by the scorpion.   A bit later he tried again and was stung again, the bite swelling his hand painfully and giving him much pain.  Another man passing by saw what was happening and yelled at the mediator, "Hey, stupid old man, what's wrong with you?   Only a fool would risk his life for sake of an ugly, evil creature.  Don't you know you could kill yourself trying to save that ungrateful scorpion?"
          The old man calmly replied, "My friend, just because it is in the scorpion's nature to sting, does not change my nature to save."
          It is in God's nature to save - because it is in God's nature to love. God seeks the lost, heals the wounded, forgives the offender, and gives hope to those who are in despair.
          It is what God does.
          What is our nature? Is how we respond to others reflect the love of God or the nature of the scorpion? May we seek to be people that reflect the love of Christ to others.
God bless,
Pastor Barbara
