People who are so poor they don’t have enough to eat or to wear, who can’t get good care when they’re sick, who are in prison, who are outsiders in our community—most of us are willing to do a little something to help them. But Jesus called such people “these brothers and sisters of mine.” We truly “buy into” in God’s transforming work in the world when we realize that the poor, the sick, the prisoners and the aliens are not “them”—they’re “us.” Jesus calls us to commit to doing his work as one family, bound by mutual caring and sharing.
- At church last week , we heard the Implementation Teams report on the future of our congregation and we invited people to pray and dream about these questions: what can we do together to be part of God’s work of transforming the world in the next ten years? In what ways can you personally take part in First Presbyterian Church ‘s work to transform the world in the next ten years? Pray over these questions, write out your God-given dreams, and put them where you will see them regularly.
