So many people are in need these days. You see them everywhere, pushing shopping carts or on the streets.
I'm going to relate a story that was told to me, by a beautiful Christian who is not rich himself, but has a heart to help others for his Lord Jesus.
He said that one day he saw a man going down the street, pushing a shopping cart. He wondered how long this person had to work, going through garbage and trash, to find enough bottles and cans to recycle to buy his next meal. He told his son to go and get the bags of plastic bottles they were saving in the backyard to take in for recycling. His son brought them out, and he gave them to this man. The man stopped and looked at him closely. He said, "I know you...you are Mario!" He said that he had never met this man before in his life. He said that he got goosebumps from this, as he couldn't imagine how this man would have known his name.
I reminded him of a scripture...
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."
Matthew 25:39-41
The next time that you see that homeless person on the street...is it a homeless person, or is it Jesus, wondering what people will do with this outcast of society?
Will you help that person, or will you pass them by?
Jesus in disguise?
Until He comes...
