Oh Yes He Did

Did He befriend the outcasts?

Did He hang with outsiders?

Did He welcome people with bad reputations?

Did He include people who didn’t have it all together?

Did He ease burdens and lighten the load?

Did He care?

Did He love?

Did He allow his schedule to be interrupted?

Did He comfort?

Did He heal?

Did He restore?

Oh yes He did.

And we’re privileged to continue this work…

“Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me.”
—Jesus (Matthew 25.40 MSG)

The incredible thing is, when we serve/bless/love someone in need, we are serving/blessing/loving Jesus!

“I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirsty and you gave me a drink, I was homeless and you gave me a room, I was shivering and you gave me clothes, I was sick and you stopped to visit, I was in prison and you came to me.” —Jesus (Matthew 25.35-36 MSG)

So, the questions get turned on us…

Do we befriend the outcasts?

Do we hang with outsiders?

Do we welcome people with bad reputations?

Do we include people who didn’t have it all together?

Do we ease burdens and lighten the load?

Do we care?

Do we love?

Do we allow his schedule to be interrupted?

This is what the 15 Revolution is all about.

It’s that daily reminder to serve/bless/love.

It’s a simple way for us to “plan” each day to be alert and ready to give 15 minutes of our life to bless someone else.

When the questions are asked of me (did you care—did you love—did you welcome—did you include), I want the answer to be a definitive: “Oh yes he did!” —not— “Oh no he didn’t!”
