There's a place in the Gospel story for everyone -- Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy man, saw a place for him and his resources, and he stepped forward when that time was apparent. Do we hold onto our resources in anticipation of finding an opportunity to invest them in the kingdom?
And the women were there, always faithful. A question worth asking -- who are we dedicated to in this world that we'd be there even at this point? How invested are we in our community that even at the end, we'd still be there. Maybe it's family, maybe it's friends. I hope there are people in your church that you are this close to. Relationships matter. Find relationships you can commit yourself to. Let us love selflessly, fully, and in so doing, reflect the endless love of God.
