Some Who Seem Least Important 

Now

Will Be The Greatest Then

Scripture

Luke 13

30 And note this: Some who seem least important now will be the greatest then, and some who are the greatest now will be least important then.”

Observation

Things will be so different when we get to Heaven! Those who we have hardly noticed will be the greatest and many of us will be the least important then. I was reminded this week how important it is just to love the people that God brings into your life. We are even commanded to love those folks who seem to be very difficult and unlovable.

I watched our mission team extend Christ’s love to some folks this week and I saw how it changed those people and moved those people closer to a personal relationship with Christ!

Jesus took time for people.

In chapter 13 of Luke we see Jesus taking time to heal a woman who had been doubled over, crippled for 18 years. The Pharisees were angry with Jesus because He healed the woman on the Sabbath. They didn’t care that the woman could now walk upright and that she was no longer crippled.

Are you saying that Jesus would have sent a mission team from Florida to have them spend the majority of their time sharing the love of Christ with two families in Long Island? As you read the New Testament you will find that most of the stories are about one on one encounters just like our team experienced in Long Island this past week.

Application

I will look for people who need to hear about Christ’s love for them.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for allowing me to go to Long Island this past week. Thank You for allowing me the privilege of watching how You used the people on our team to touch the lives of folks in Baldwin, New York. Continue to use other teams to move these people to an even closer personal relationship with You. Give Kathy and I the opportunity to share the Good News with people that come to Mission Tampa this morning. Open their spiritual eyes so they can come to Christ.
