We are the Hands and Feet of Jesus-The Kingdom Builders
Matt: 25:34-40
‘Come, You blessed of My Father, inherit the king prepared for you from the foundation of the world: ‘for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; ‘I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ “Then the rig
hteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? ‘When did we see You a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe You? “And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to Me.’
Christ has no hands but your hands. And Christ has no arms but our arms.” We are the body of Christ, and if the body of Christ is going to move, it is going to be by our feet. If the body of Christ is going to hug, it is going to be by our arms. If the body of Christ is going to speak, it is going to be through our mouth. We are to focus on building people, not building buildings! Buildings should be tools for ministry, not monuments. We serve inside our homes. We meet the needs of the ones closest to us. We give to them but never take. We serve outside our homes. We go where others won’t go. We reach out to the unreachable. We become a friend to the friendless and we love the unlovable. We give extravagantly to everyone around us. We freely and joyfully give not just our money, but our time, our resources. We share our talents. Most importantly we give our love, the same love that was so openly shared with us.
