Would you?

It’s funny how we can get the basics of Christianity so wrong. Maybe ‘funny’ isn’t the right word...

If a person is hungry, would you feed them?

If a person is naked, would you clothe them?

If a person has no roof over their head, would you take them in?

If a person has no transport, would you give them a lift?

If a person needs to chat, would you listen?

If a person is upset, would you let them cry on your shoulder?

If a person is tired, would you give up your bed?

If a person needs a wash, would you let them use your shower?

If a person doubts you, would you still trust them?

If a person cheats you, would you give them a second chance?

If a person wrongs you, would you forgive them?

If a person hates you, would you still love them?

I sometimes wonder what forgiveness looks like. It’s more than just words.

I sometimes wonder what charity looks like. It’s more than just your family and close friends.

Does it stretch to the people you work with? Does it stretch to the stranger?

Yes, we need wisdom. But we also need to obey the Lord’s command.

Those Kingdom principles. They give us a heart.

Does it really matter how old the person is?
