There is an over-used, catchy saying that goes like this: “People don’t care how much you know if they don’t know how much you care.” In other words, we can try and share the awesome news of Jesus’ love and freedom all we want with people but it won’t mean much if what we say is not reflected in what we do and how we live everyday.
I am really proud of our youth this week. They have already been to El Paso on a mission trip in June and now this week they are bringing it home. They have set aside this week as local missions week. Yesterday they cleaned up around a lady’s home who could not have done the work herself. Today they will do a little more of the same and also begin working on her carport (that is falling down). This lady is not a member of our church. She is a lady in our community who needs help.
We must never fail to share the message of Jesus with folks – we are called to make disciples (read about that here) but we must earn the right to share that message by being the hands and feet and face of Jesus. Our students are doing that this week.
How about you? How can you be the hands and feet and face of Jesus today?
