We are the starfish on the beach of life.
Christ is the one throwing starfish into the water so they can live and not die. The man replied, “I made a difference to that one.” Think about Philippians 2:5-12. He asks him how the starfish thrower could possibly make a difference to the starfish population. In this video, a man comes across someone throwing starfish into the ocean. Then, I want you to address these questions and use them as your meditation (that may lead to contemplation).
Write down what Joel Barker says about vision and action at the end of the piece. Watch the story of the starfish thrower at least twice. I would like to share it with you to give you some idea of how Philippians 2:5 is like the starfish thrower, the story of Christ. One such story that impacted me then and still holds me in its grip now is the story of the starfish thrower as told by Joel Barker, one of the ten people that have influenced my life for the better. This is how I find meaning and value in those things that even happened to me a long time ago.
Posted on Jby thecenterforcontemplativepracticeĪlmost every time I pray Lectio Divina (Phil 2:5), I invariably think about how Christ’s act of love, to save us from death and give us a chance at life everlasting, relates to those circumstances and experiences of my life.
