Today we endeavored to follow the Lord's command to minister "unto the least of these." We fed and shared the gospel message with about 30 individuals who visited our campus to receive help from the "With Love From Jesus" outreach. What a joy it was to see 12 people commit their lives to Christ, and benefit from the best of Christian benevolence.
But what was equally as rewarding was to see the faces of our church members as they excitedly shared food, help, smiles, and "God bless you's!" What do you think? Does discipleship take place in the lives of the people we share our food with? Are we discipling them? Or does discipleship take place in our own lives as we share? Who is really being discipled?
As much as I would like to think that we are making disciples of the "least of these my brethren" I really think discipleship takes place in the servant as he learns to serve. If Christ came to serve, and we follow His example in serving others, we are placing ourselves in an intentional path of discipleship.
Who knew that discipleship was so non-boring!
