It is Good News when ordinary people see other people as Jesus does. This is what Matthew 25:31-46 teaches. I call them Good News Makers, because they see what Jesus sees, loves as Jesus does, and enables a better future. I call it, Plant better futures.
SEE, LOVE, PLANT
A Good News Maker lives faithfully in response to the needs Jesus Christ sees.
The parable of the sheep and goats stands at the climax of Jesus' public ministry. Arrest and crucifixion are only two days away.
He said, "What you did to the least of these, you also did not to me."
"I was hungry..."
"I was thirsty..."
"I was a stranger..."
"I needed clothes..."
"I was sick..."
"I was in prison..."
The King so identifies with the vulnerable that service rendered to them is service rendered to Him.
The One who is about to bear the sins of the world reminds His followers that genuine allegiance to Him will be revealed by how they treat those who are most easily overlooked.
A Good News Maker sees this truth, loves his neighbor, and plants hope for their better future because Jesus went to the Cross with the vulnerable on His heart.
The Gospel of Jesus inspires His followers to love others through action. Some teach and write to inspire younger generations. Others respond to disasters, dig wells, feed the hungry, heal the sick, visit prisoners, care for orphans, and welcome strangers and immigrants. This website is dedicated to helping Christ-followers become Good News Makers.
