During this last week I saw Jesus right here in Marshfield.
No, I have not
my mind and I was not seeing hallucinations, nor have I gone off into
charismatic,
beliefs. Well, you may wonder, "How then did you see Jesus, who is
in heaven,
this week in Marshfield?" I saw Jesus in the faces of ladies
standing in a nursing home singing praises to God and trying by song and
encouraging words to lift
the spirit of those who were confined to the nursing home. I saw Jesus
in the faces of men women who were carrying belongings of the apartment
fire victims outside and into other buildings. I saw Jesus in the
face of those who brought clothing and other things to help those people.
I saw Jesus in the face of those who took food to our sister week. I have
heard Jesus' voice on the phone many times in the concerned phone about
different ones of our congregation. I saw Jesus this week in the faces
of many ladies who were cleaning the building, cutting the grass and planting
flowers. I saw Jesus in the faces of those who
were inviting their friends and families to our meeting. I saw Jesus
in the faces
of those leading our song service, prayers and in delivering the soul-saving
message of Jesus Christ.
I have seen.Jesus many times this week and not only this
week, but in the acts of kindness by so many Christians. Remember the words
of our Lord in Matthew 25:34-40. "Then shall the King say unto them
on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of Father, inherit the kingdom prepared
for you from the foundation of
the world: I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and
ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed
me: I was sick and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Then shall the righteous answer him saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered,
and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a
stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we
thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer
and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto
one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
