You are Jesus’ Plan
In this powerful message, we're challenged to reflect on what it truly means to follow Jesus and share His love with the world. Drawing from Matthew 9:35-38, we see Jesus' compassionate response to the crowds - harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. This imagery invites us to view others through Christ's eyes of love and compassion, regardless of their background or beliefs. The key lesson here is that we're called not just to believe, but to actively reflect Jesus in our thoughts, actions, and speech. This three-fold approach - thinking, acting, and speaking like Jesus - forms the core of our Christian witness. We're reminded that this witness isn't just for a select few; it's the calling and purpose of all humanity, the very plan of God and hope for the world. As we embrace this calling, we're encouraged to pray for sensitive eyes to see the needs around us, and for the courage to meet those needs in practical ways. This message challenges us to move beyond our comfort zones and truly embody Christ's love in our daily lives.
