What if a stranger knocked at your door?
What if it was 1Am?
Raining?
It was a rough looking man?
A scene out of a horror movie?
What if he had ragged clothes?
What if his feet were bare?
A dirty face?
Greasy hair?
What if he was crying?
What if he was shaking with cold?
Or fright?
What if he picked your house?
What if...
What if he knocked on the door of Jesus?
Picture that for a moment...
Would Jesus be scared?
Would He turn him away?
Would He slam the door?
Would he hide?
Would he call the police?
Of course not.
What would Jesus do?
He would welcome him in.
He would Wash his feet.
He would dry his tears.
He would fill his stomach.
He would make His home...his.
What would I do?
I hope I would be like Jesus and welcome anyone in. But it is scary, it is hard, there is a risk. But Jesus told us to help the ones who have little. Who are broken and poor. To feed the Hungry and to make the weak strong. So how could I not help?
