This has been a dramatic year for the nation. We have much to be thankful for, especially after the uncertainty surrounding the recent general election was miraculously transformed into hope for the future.
The minister’s dismissive reaction to complaints of poor conditions at an immigration detention centre in Sabah was also disappointing. The people’s values have to change first, if we want a government dominated by people with integrity, who are committed to reform and progressive change. Politics itself is a noble vocation – provided one is able to rise above the temptations of power to truly serve the people. It is also a long-term struggle to create a more just, progressive and egalitarian society. How many politicians can last that long without compromising themselves? It is the rare politician who can stand the test of time to truly serve the people.
When confronted by the Roman governor and the high priests — the powers that be of the time — Jesus had few words to say. In contrast, He spent most of His time talking to ordinary people — peasants, tax collectors, prostitutes, people with leprosy, those whom society had either forgotten or rejected.
English translations of Scripture use words like “Jesus felt sorry or pity or compassion” but somehow, that does not convey the depth of Jesus’ compassion. Splagchnizomai was the Greek word used in Matthew 9:36: “And when He saw the crowds, He felt sorry/pity/compassion for them because they were harassed and dejected, like sheep without a shepherd.”
