there are few experiences one will remember for the rest of their lives... today will be a day full of experiences not only that one will remember, but will shape lives. lives, people were shaped and molded into what will they will be... into who they will be.
we had the privilege, and i don't use that word lightly, to be a part of bringing food, toiletries, bibles and womans package to people, families that needed it the most. several months ago on a wednesday night we talked about the great banquet feast in luke where the poor, crippled, blind and lame were placed at the table of the king... today we experienced that! the marginalized, the down and out, the people that we have shoved into the gutters of society were elevated and raised to a position of honor... they were the served.
perhaps were the most like jesus when we serve... is it that serving is the most clear expression of love?
this i know... today 49 teenagers were a living expression of the gospel... not the watered down gospel, an eikon, an image of jesus. this is what jesus was talking about when he was describing not an idea of life, but an existence...
