It Doesn't Matter Who You Are.

This has been on my heart lately; I am still writing contributions on Exodus, but I need to get this out of the way first. -- I read this passage out of the Bible and although I could most likely write a book referring to only these short amount of verses, I won't -- I'll try to make it quick. This is interesting, "And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Ca-per'-na-um." To my knowledge, the names were not mentioned of these people. The humor of God is very underlying, but prominent nonetheless. I believe that the names weren't mentioned for this reason: It doesn't matter -- because Jesus will save anybody. Realize, though, to get to salvation, we must come to Jesus Christ -- verse 47 states, "When he heard that Jesus was come out of Ju-dae'-a into Galilee, he went unto him." He came to Jesus, and He healed his son. I'm getting off track on the message being preached, but it's still awesome, Amen? My point is this: Jesus performs miracles on common day men that many of us could care less about; the homeless person walking on the street that we drive by and utter under our breathe, "What a loser, get a job." We don't take the time to get out and pray for the man, because we're "too busy." The lonely patient in the hospital bed waiting for a visitor that most likely will never show unless it's his/her nurse -- the people that we pass by everyday on our way to work -- or if you're walking in the amplified zesty New York -- the ornament of passerby's -- the same people we don't have an interest for, Jesus does and He doesn't matter what kind of situation you're in -- where you have been -- who you are -- He wants to rescue you. The people we talk about saving are the same people we overlook on a daily basis; the ones we decide to despise and speak evil unto; they are the same people God has created and loves so deeply -- we can't even show compassion towards them. How rotten of sinners we are, even being saved from Hell itself; we are an undeserving humanity. Let's start loving the way Christ loves -- not just for a day because you feel convicted now, but everyday. We should start making goals. If we're driving and see people walking in the cold or drying heat, say a prayer in your car for that man. If you have time (and you can always make time, Jesus did), get out and talk to him. Offer to buy him food. This generation of Christianity needs to step up.
