A Chinese man Ming Kuang Chen, 35 years old, was the front page news in several newspapers inside and outside the United States.
 
He came from China and got a job delivering food in NY. Even speaking no English he could do his job on an old bicycle.
 
One day when delivering food in a building in NY, the elevator broke down and he stayed there for 3 days. His colleagues missed him. His bicycle was found thrown into a small river. A Fire Department supervisor who attended the emergency said that this kind of defect in old elevators is very common.
 
How could somebody get stuck in an elevator and nobody notices? His friends should have looked for him and call for help.
 
The title of our reflection is Cain’s answer to God as soon as he committed the first homicide. He had killed his own brother. This is the third division in Genesis. The first one happens when God expels Satan from heaven. The second is when Adam and Eve sinned against God. Are there any brothers inside elevators for 3 days without any of us realizing?

Jesus condensed the 10 commandments into 2. To love the Lord your God above all things and your brother as yourself. Here is the summary of all laws. I am sure that there is somebody very close to you who is in need of help. Maybe in need of spiritual help. Somebody close to you in need of Jesus, and if this person does not repent, they will be forever a prisoner of hell.
 
Yes, we are our brother’s keeper. May God help us to accomplish this wonderful task of looking around us and putting out our hands and raise our voices to announce Jesus as the only Savior.
