An African proverb states that 'When you don't know the words, I see Jesus written on your face.' If you were to imagine words that would unite nations, what would those words be? Peace?
Restroom?
Tom Cruise or David Beckham? In this instance, the immortal and powerful moment of unity came in the form of James Blunt's 'you're beautiful' sung in the girls dorm late last night at very high volume! I had not expected James Blunt lyrics to have transposed themselves across nations, but alas it is true. As we all saw her face on a crowded place, and indeed wondered what to do... Beauty became the topic of conversation. If it is true that people see Jesus on our face (worth remembering next time someone cuts me up at a junction or doesn't let me off the tube), do they see something beautiful? I suspect that the answer may sometimes be 'no'! As we begin this evening's proceedings - think town hall square and bandstand - our hope and prayer is for people to see something of Jesus' beauty. Hoy, a las siete en la plaza!
