Case 3-1 The Parable of the Sadhu The Parable of the Sadhu is the story of a man, Bowen McCoy, who traversed the Himalaya Mountains on a business sabbatical program. On his journey he encounters a sadhu (an Indian holy man) who has passed out from exhaustion on the path. He checks the man’s pulse and gets the others in his group to help him out, and carries on. When he reached the top, the rest of his team caught up to him and informed him that they did not take the sadhu all the way down to the village, and are not sure whether he lived or died. The dilemma is on Bowen’s decision which was based on many factors.
He was like a savior to all of them. If the people did not have a father he’d had no problem being their father. He even went as far as saying he’d be their God if they didn’t have a God. All the explanations Jones provided gave people an opportunity to do something they’ve never done before. His ideas motivated them and people felt they could become a better individual going forward in life.
That is where there is much debate on the idea of contextualization and if we, as messengers should do it or not. I think the way Muller goes about describing contextualization is great, he encourages us to strip down our cultural ideals and look at the culture we are in focusing on the values of that culture; at the same time he also informs us that quite simply, there are certain things about other cultures that will never allow you to be the same as the people you are with and instead of taking that as this awful thing, we take it, address the current place we are at, and from there we share the gospel to the likes of the relationship we share with the culture we are in. Overall, I can say that in reading The Messenger I was challenged and reminded
If it wasn’t for Gay’s help, Mack and the boys wouldn’t have gotten the truck running, and they are grateful for Gay’s generosity for fixing the truck. I believe that Gay’s way of life of helping one another is most helpful. Steinbeck is telling us to live our lives with a purpose in helping others. For example a teacher, a person who instructs and teaches knowledge to others to better understand the importance of things taught. When you help someone by teaching the things you learned, that individual will carry that information and pass it to another person and so forth creating a circle of
We all want to feel fulfilled with our lives before we die, fulfilled in our relationships, our careers, our experiences, and our accomplishments. Whatever our personal goals in life are, if we accomplish them so that we have a sense of fulfillment, dying won’t be so much of a tragedy. We’re all curious about death, whether it be fear or
To me, it is one of the most rewarding and satisfying things because I am able to make a difference in my community. It has taught me the value needed in order to be success, including teaching me how to be patient and thankful. They taught me to set a goal and accomplish it, take on responsibility and the most importantly appreciate things that I have right now. It disenchant me that I am lucky enough to have what I have right now since there are many people out there who cannot enjoy the facility I got. Previously, to be honest, I always want more and more, better facilities and life, however after doing community services my eye was opened and my heart began to change and flutter.
According to Martins dream, I t means a lot to me because, he’s done so mu8ch for us in order to have all type of races have peace and share the same things. Martin is like a family member to all people because of his
One donor can help one recipient enjoy a better quality life. By donating organs you will be able to save lives and that will make you a true hero to that person and their family. If you have ever known someone who has received an organ, then you will know just what an incredible gift this is. If you can save someone from dying, then of course most of us would see this as a highly positive thing. If you were dead and your organs were in a good condition there is no reason for you to keep them for yourself, especially when your organs can save some people from dying.
I would like you to have a good spirit and have the Holy Spirit in your life. I would like you to help community in any way you can. I would like everything about you to change and don’t go back to your old, disrespectful, rude, annoying self. I want you to be better than what you are now. I hope you will contribute to as many charities such as Make- A -Wish Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters, etc.
Many think that community involvement is just something you are forced to do to graduate. They participate in community involvement because they have to, but I do it because I want to. Community involvement is a way of giving back to community. I like making people feel as though they matter, and it gives me a warm feeling at the end of the day because I know I have made a difference. Community involvement is very important.
