God calls us to be vessels for Him . . . as recipients and representatives of His love.
It is not enough for us to tell others about God's love for them. We must demonstrate that love in tangible and incarnational ways.
When we do things out of love for others in the name of Jesus, we are showing our love for Him.
"Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' "Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' "The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'
Matthew 25:34-40
Only that kind of love will change the world!
The world was changed the day Jesus was born in a cold, dark stable. Christmas will change the world again when we worship fully, spend less, give more of ourselves to others and love everyone as Christ has loved us.
