“I see dead people” was the famous line from the movie The Sixth Sense. A young boy was sensitive enough to be able to see the unseen world of those who were no longer living.
We need a bit of that sensitivity today, not to see the dead, but to see the living. We look at people, and we see their race. We look at people and see their sexual orientation. We see their political views. We see their immigration status. We see their religion. We see their nationality. We see “them” or “us.”
And we don’t see human beings made in the image of God. We don’t see individuals that Jesus loved enough to die for.
That’s what’s wrong with the world.
When we came back to the United States, I became a fan of the NBA. Well, of the San Antonio Spurs. It was hard not to, living near San Antonio. Over time, I developed a deep dislike for the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban. He’s loud. He’s profane. He’s a poor sport. I could go on and on.
