Church this morning was brilliant. Thought I’d pop in to our Senior youth “Sunday School” (Crossword) this morning. Since it was a new year, we looked at being at the start of everything – creation.
We looked a bit through how everything God makes is GOOD. Actually, it’s perfect. Even though we might not feel perfect, we were made perfect!
We then watched a powerful drama about how God made us perfect, and how we want to be in control and not let God shape us back into perfection. You should definitely watch it – I recommend it: The Skit Guy's - God's Chisel
The children’s talk when we went into the service really motivated me too. We learnt about the passage in Matthew 25, where Jesus talks about caring for others.
“For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.” (Matthew 25:35-36).
As a Christian, we should try to emulate Jesus and his works. Where there is a homeless person in the street – it is Jesus on the street. Where there is a pensioner fallen and hurt themselves – it is Jesus who has fallen.
If we claim to be Christians, then we are claiming to follow the example of Jesus. Too many times I forget this when it comes to out in the street. Ask me to write a sermon, or play my guitar for worship, to tell you some theology on something – that’s fine. Ask me to talk to a homeless person, or assist the foreigner who’s evidently lost, or mention to the person whom is waiting at a bus stop that that it’s not in use because of road works this week – and you’ve no chance!
Tomorrow I start back at University, I wonder how many cases of people I’ll help/avoid tomorrow. I hope it’ll be more of the former rather than the latter.
I’m off to bed as I’m shattered!
God Bless,
Morrison
