MORNING GLORIES IN THE ALLEY

"Jesus offers the invitation as a penniless rabbi in an oppressed nation. He has no political office, no connections with the authorities in Rome. He hasn't written a bestseller or earned a diploma. Yet, He dares to look into the cynical eyes of the one who is afraid to believe; the hungry eyes of the one who has "tried it all", and still feels empty; the tired eyes of the weary housewife and mother, and say, 'Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest' Matthew 11:28."
