Who Is My Neighbour?
Sermon
From time to time there are gruesome stories in the media about people who have died in their own home, and who haven't been discovered for several days, or even for two or three weeks. Mostly the deceased person has been old, and usually something of a recluse.
But there was a story a year or two ago about a young mother on one of the American airbases, who died from a sudden and unexpected heart attack. And, because her husband was away, and nobody had missed the young mother, her small toddler starved to death.
