Once A Slumdog, Always a Slumdog
send Moses Not because He needed Moses’ strength and arm of
the flesh, but because He chose to work through him, just like
God still works through us to carry out His will. This is important
to recognize. Although God is fully capable of accomplishing all
He desires on His own, He still uses us in His incredible work.
God used Moses to guide Israel out of Egypt and to tell the
people how to be saved from death through the Passover Lamb.
The night after they took shelter under the blood of the lamb,
they were led out of their slavery.
Countless millions of Dalit villagers and slum dwellers, including
their children, all need to be set free from the bondage of
sin and slavery. They have yet to hear of the Lamb that was slain
from the foundations of the earth (see Revelation 13:8). And
they will only hear of Him when you and I, just as Moses did,
obey the call of God.
We know the cries of these little children ascend day and
night to heaven and that God knows their suffering. There is
nothing on earth God is not aware of.
Our hearts ache to change their worlds and make things
right. We pray that they too might have life and have it more
abundantly. Yet how much more does God Himself yearn for His
own creation He knows all these children personally.
He is the One who said, “It would be better . . . if a millstone were
hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he
would cause one of these little ones to stumble” (Luke 17:2, nasb).
The question is, when we hear the cry of the suffering children
and the Dalits, can we obey the voice of God and be part of
the answer
I believe we can.
