One of you was able to better articulate for me an element of last Sunday’s sermon. God is looking for a willingness (on our part) to engage in the ministry of Jesus Christ. God places before us so many opportunities for ministry. And whether they are new or familiar, general or specific, ordinary or unusual, God requires willing participants for these opportunities to become effective ministry. It doesn’t matter who God is trying to reach: a stranger or your neighbor; it matters not what the need is: hunger or healing; God needs us (believers) to be a part of the program. Amazing isn’t it? The all powerful Creator of the universe has chosen to work (or not to work) thru people like you and me! You’ve heard it said, “You might be the only Jesus they will ever see”…that is much more than a saying, it is a truth. That doesn’t mean we are as good as, or perfect like Jesus, but we are willing to go help others in his name instead of hiding behind the cross. So whether it’s visiting, praying, anointing, feeding, smiling, or helping in some tangible way, has someone looked at you and seen Jesus today?
