Culture of Service

Lately at church we have been talking about the culture of service. Last Sunday Jim shared about a homeless guy whom he saw. The guy was filthy and was barely able to walk!!! This whole thing made me think about my relationship with Christ!
One of my favorite Christian singers is Todd Agnew and my favorite song of his is “My Jesus”. Every time I listen to this song, it makes me wonder if my relationship with Jesus is authentic or not. The part that strikes me the most is this:
 
“Cause my Jesus would never be accepted in my church
the blood and dirt on His feet might stain the carpet”


Every day I see people that I could help, but 99% of the time I don’t help them. It makes me wonder, if I saw Jesus as a needy person, would I help him or would walk away from him? If Jesus came to my church, would I accept him as a member of my church, or would I push him away and think he does not belong?
Well, according to Matthew 25: 31-46, the truth is that if I help someone in need, I have helped and served Jesus. 
 
.................‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ (Matthew 25:45)
