Who is Jesus?

Who is Jesus?

When asked this question, we often will answer with the attributes of Jesus. He is the Light, the Way, the Truth, Savior, Son of God, Resurrection, and so many more. One time when Mother Theresa was asked this question, she answered in a much different way. She listed this:
Jesus is the hungry to be fed.
Jesus is the thirsty to be satisfied.
Jesus is the naked to be clothed.
Jesus is the homeless to be taken in.
Jesus is the sick to be healed.
Jesus is the lonely to be loved.

Her answer comes right out of Matthew chapter 25. At Thanksgiving time, we when are expressing our gratitude to God for His many blessings in our lives, our thoughts often also turn to the less fortunate. We recall Matthew 25 and are convicted that thanksgiving naturally translates to thanks-living. Not only in November but throughout the year we need to look for Jesus in everyone, and where there is a need respond. We do this as we bring our food donations and our offerings at Thanksgiving… but there are so many other ways we can be of help. If you are looking for meaningful ways to serve inside and outside the congregation, to be the hands and feet of Jesus, please speak with me. There are organizations and ministries that are doing wonderful jobs of connecting needs to service in the Name of Jesus.

Worship + Connect + Serve
