Many churches today sweep the destitute under the rug, and ignore them, But Jesus made his home with the destitute. His followers included prostitutes, fishermen, Shepherds, Tax collectors and Publicans, The dregs of society at the time. His enemies and opposition came from the entitled religious leaders who eventually led Him to the cross.
When we as believers are afraid to reach out to the destitute, we are failing to reach out the ones who Christ loved the most in his lifetime on earth. When we fail to reach out to the destitute, we place ourselves on a podium that says we are better than them and fail to see we are nothing without Christ Jesus. Religious pride has crept in, and Satan has won the victory over us as we look down from high places on the downtrodden.
The Blood of Jesus has the power to save them just like it has saved us. Reach out to the downtrodden, show the Love of God to them, you might gain a brother or sister in Christ, a loyal friend or even a love of your life. Yes, this is hard to do, to stoop down and help the one who has been robbed of all dignity, but when we realize that we are the vessel for the Love of God to be perfected in this world, we see it is our duty to love them.
The Point of this post is to share how you have been moved to help others in need. There are many out there, and many more will be among them as inflation is robbing all of us of our wealth and independence. Soon, many of us will be there as well, and all we will have is each other to lean on as the black horse rides with unjust scales.
