HOW WOULD WE BE GRADED ON HOW WE TREAT OUR HOMELESS? WOULD BODY SMELLS SEND US CRINGING TRYING TO GET AWAY SO WE DON'T HAVE TO SMELL HIM? COULD WE OVERLOOK THE SMELL AND BE NICE AND POLITE AND TRY TO MEET HIS BASIC NEEDS? COULD WE FOR ONE MINTUE THINK ABOUT HOW JESUS WOULD WANT US TO ACT? AFTER ALL JESUS WALKED FOR MANY MILES AND BATHS WERE NOT A EVERYDAY OCCURANCE. I'M SURE HE DIDN'T SMELL LIKE SOAP EVERYDAY OF HIS JOURNEY. WHAT IF THIS HOMELESS MAN WAS JESUS SENT TO TEST YOU? HOW WOULD YOU BE GRADED?
WOULD YOU FEED HIM? MOST OF US WOULD. WOULD YOU GIVE HIM CLOTHES? SOME OF US WOULD. WOULD YOU GIVE HIM MONEY? A FEW OF US MIGHT. HOW PROUD WE ARE OF ALL WE DO FOR THE HELPLESS. WOULD YOU GO HOME THAT NIGHT AND PRAY FOR HIM? WOULD YOU EVEN REMEMBER HIM? SO PROUD WE ARE FOR ALL WE DID FOR HIM YET WE LEFT OUT THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE COULD DO FOR THE HOMELESS AND WE TEND TO FORGET ALL ABOUT HIM WHEN WE DID OUR DUTY. HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU THINK OF THE HOMELESS WHEN YOU PRAY? DO YOU PRAY GOD WILL PROVIDE HIM WITH FOOD, CLOTHES, AND MONEY SO HE CAN BE BLESSED THE WAY MOST OF US ARE? DO YOU EVEN THINK OF HIM AGAIN? MAYBE WHEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO GIVE AWAY SOMETHING YOU DON'T NEED ANY MORE.
WHAT IF GOD ONLY THOUGHT OF US WHEN HE HAD SOMETHING HE DOESN'T NEED ANY MORE. WHAT IF HE ONLY BLESSED US WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE WAS GONE. HOW MANY OF US WOULD BE WALKING IN THE HOMELESS MAN'S SHOES? HOW BITTER WE MIGHT BE EVEN TOWARDS GOD AND JESUS. WHAT KIND OF LIFE WOULD THAT BE?
WHAT IF THERE WERE NO HOMELESS, NO POOR, NO ONE IN NEED EVER? HOW WOULD GOD GRADE US? HOW WOULD GOD KNOW WHO IS GOOD AND WHO IS EVIL? IF THERE IS NO EVIL HOW COULD WE KNOW HOW WE WOULD REACT TO IT? IF THERE WERE NO HOMELESS HOW COULD WE EVER KNOW HOW WE WOULD TREAT THEM? HOW CAN WE ANSWER QUESTIONS WHEN WE ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWERS IN OUR HEARTS ?
IF JESUS CAME TO WALK AMONG US TO TEST US HOW DO YOU THINK HE MIGHT DO THAT AND HOW DO YOU THINK HE MIGHT LOOK? THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!
