HAVE WE DONE THIS

“Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.”

Job 22:7 KJV

If we don’t tell others about Jesus, the Bread of Life, then we have done this.  “I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world” (John 6:51).  What a loving Saviour we have.

There are many people who are hungry to know that someone loves them and if we don’t tell them that Jesus loves them, we are not only hurting them, we are also hurting Jesus and breaking His heart.  When your pastor asks for testimonies, do you stand up and give yours?  If not, why don’t you?

However, it is not enough to tell people that Jesus loves them; we must prove it to them by our kind and loving actions.  There are many people who are discouraged and brokenhearted who really believe no one loves them or cares about them.  May God have mercy on us if we don’t tell them about Jesus.

What about our families?  They need to know Jesus loves them.  Our spouses and children get discouraged just like we do.  Do they know Jesus loves them by our actions and our words?  We need to let others see and hear the unconditional love of Jesus for them in our actions and in our words.
