jesus said

Jesus meets lepers, those who are ritually dangerous to the community. He touches them and they are healed. The new world comes in bodily contact with dangerous disease. Jesus makes contact with the blind, lame, and deaf and restores them. The new world comes in good health care delivery. Jesus comes to a hungry crowd and feeds them. The new world comes in adequate food provisions for those without resources. The new world that is safe and not under threat comes in generous human acts that outflank fear, that contradict anxiety, that veto greed, and that refuse violence. That is how Jesus brought a new world. —Walter Brueggemann
