Matthew 25:35-40

So many people like to take these verses literally and think that Jesus is just talking about helping the poor. But I think it's about so much more. Yes, we need to actively help the poor, but we also need to help everyone in need no matter what the need is. Some people just need someone to talk to, some people need help getting through financial struggles, some people need help with a family crisis. This is the essence of what church should be about - serving others. What's cool is that the church is finally starting to get this. We've made it about us for so long, but now we're starting to see that it's not really about us at all. JM
