Gleaning: Social Welfare and the Good News
(Ochibo o Hirou: Fukushi to Fukuin)
Takashi Sakaoka
The Old Testament says we are to leave the gleaning of the harvest for the poor and for the foreigners. God’s design is to bless not only the person picking up the crops but also the person leaving the remains. In this concept we see both social welfare and the Good News intertwined. Today’s society has ever deepening conflict, division, disparity, discrimination, poverty, illness and isolation. The broken pieces of society continue to shatter. So let’s attempt to think afresh about what the Bible says about the Good News and consider how we can restore lives little by little in Christ’s name for people created in the image of God. Includes a way to minister to people applying for refugee status that respects their human dignity. B6* size, 128 pp.
