“Jesus lived as a common man among common men. He lived where they lived – fishermen, tax collectors, shepherds, street vendors – and He loved them all, outcasts of every kind, the untouchables, lepers, lunatics, Samaritans, street people and women taken in adultery. He loved kids and crowds, celebrations and solitude, miracles and quiet meals with old friends. He was a blue-collar man and He calls us to be blue-collar Christians – loving the loveless and washing tired feet, even when there is no one to watch.”
