“God looks at this world—broken by pain, shattered by suffering, weighed down by poverty and hunger, strangled by greed and lust for power, wounded by war, scarred by prejudice and hatred—and God feels our pain, and God sees our tears in the midst of this brokenness… And it’s into this broken world that God has come, and it’s in this broken world that God still works, and it’s in the midst of this broken world that we proclaim that ‘God has come to help his people.’”
