What Are We Waiting For

The Compassion Of Jesus (Matthew 9:35-38)

Then Jesus (Jesus Christ) went about All the Cities and Villages, Teaching in their Synagogues, Preaching The Gospel of The Kingdom, and Healing EVERY sickness and EVERY disease, among the people.  But when He (Jesus Christ) saw the multitudes, He (Jesus Christ) was moved with Compassion for them (the people), because they (the people) were weary and scattered, like sheep having NO shepherd.  Then He (Jesus Christ) said to His Disciples, “The Harvest Truly is Plentiful, but the Laborers are few.  Therefore, pray The Lord of The Harvest (God Almighty) to Send Out Laborers (Believers) into His (God Almighty’s) Harvest.”

Fellow Believers, do YOU think the people who came to Jesus (Jesus Christ), were ONLY coming to be cured of human afflictions OR did they (the people) come to Him (Jesus Christ) for Salvation (Everlasting Life)?  Perhaps, Jesus (Jesus Christ) was simply using curing their (the people) human afflictions, as a way to get them (the people) to listen to Him (Jesus Christ) Preach The Gospel of The Kingdom of God Almighty.  So, what were some of those human afflictions: Healing EVERY sickness and EVERY disease, Raising the dead, and Casting out demons.  Also He (Jesus Christ) fed the hungry (with some fish and bread).

 

Sending Out The Twelve (Matthew 10:5-15)

These Twelve (Jesus’ Disciples), Jesus (Jesus Christ) Sent Out and Commanded Them (Jesus’ Disciples), saying: “Do NOT go into the way of the Gentiles, and do NOT enter a city of the Samaritans.  But go rather to The Lost Sheep of The House of Israel.  And as YOU (Jesus’ Disciples) go, Preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand.’  Heal the sick, Cleanse the lepers, Raise the dead, Cast out demons.  FREELY, YOU (Jesus’ Disciples) have Received, freely GIVE.  Provide neither gold nor silver nor copper, in Your (Jesus’ Disciples) Money Belts, nor bag for Your (Jesus’ Disciples) Journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; for a Worker (Jesus’ Disciples) is Worthy of His (Jesus’ Disciples) Food.  “Now, whatever City or Town YOU (Jesus’ Disciples) enter, inquire who (Believers) in it (the City or Town) is Worthy, and stay there till YOU (Jesus’ Disciples) go out.  And when YOU (Jesus’ Disciples) go into a Household, Greet it (the Household).  If the Household is Worthy, let Your (Jesus’ Disciples) Peace, Come Upon it (the Household).  But if it (the Household) is NOT Worthy, let Your (Jesus’ Disciples) Peace RETURN to YOU (Jesus’ Disciples).  And whoever will NOT Receive YOU (Jesus’ Disciples), nor HEAR Your (Jesus’ Disciples) Words, when YOU (Jesus’ Disciples) depart from that House or City, shake off the dust from Your (Jesus’ Disciples) Feet.  Assuredly, I (Jesus Christ) say to YOU (Jesus’ Disciples), it will be more tolerable for The Land of Sodom and Gomorrah, in The Day of Judgment, than for that City!  [See also:  Mark 6:7-13 and Luke 9:1-6]

Notice that Jesus (Jesus Christ) Sent Out His Disciples, by asking Them (Jesus’ Disciples) to do the same things He (Jesus Christ) was doing.  Jesus Christ asks the same of ALL His Disciples, including YOU (Believers).  Why do YOU (Believers) think, We (Believers) have Outreach Programs, Missions, etc.?  We (Believers) offer food, drink, arts, crafts, Parents Night Out, Single Parenting Classes, DIY Workshops, etc.  We (Believers) offer these things, FREELY, so that We (Believers) may have the opportunity, to share Jesus Christ, with those who do NOT know Him (Jesus Christ) yet, but God Almighty has put upon their hearts, the desire to KNOW Him (Jesus Christ).

The Son Of Man Will Judge The Nations (Matthew 25:34-40)

 

Then The King (Jesus Christ) will say to Those (Believers) on His (Jesus Christ’s) Right Hand, ‘Come, YOU Blessed of My Father (God Almighty), INHERIT The Kingdom Prepared for YOU (Believers), from The Foundation of the World: for I (Jesus Christ) was hungry and YOU (Believers) gave Me (Jesus Christ) food; I (Jesus Christ) was thirsty and YOU (Believers) gave Me (Jesus Christ) drink; I (Jesus Christ) was a stranger and YOU (Believers) took Me (Jesus Christ) in; I (Jesus Christ) was naked and YOU (Believers) clothed Me (Jesus Christ); I (Jesus Christ) was sick and YOU (Believers) visited Me (Jesus Christ); I (Jesus Christ) was in prison and YOU (Believers) came to Me (Jesus Christ).’  “Then The Righteous (Believers) will answer Him (Jesus Christ), saying, ‘Lord (Jesus Christ), when did We (Believers) see YOU (Jesus Christ) hungry and feed YOU (Jesus Christ), or thirsty and give YOU (Jesus Christ) drink?  When did We (Believers) see YOU (Jesus Christ) a stranger and take YOU (Jesus Christ) in, or naked and clothe YOU (Jesus Christ)?  Or when did We (Believers) see YOU (Jesus Christ) sick, or in prison, and come to YOU (Jesus Christ)?’  And The King (Jesus Christ) will answer and say to Them (Believers), ‘Assuredly, I (Jesus Christ) say to YOU (Believers), inasmuch as YOU (Believers) did it, to One of The Least of These, My Brethren (Believers), YOU (Believers) did it to Me (Jesus Christ).’  [See also: Matthew 25:31-46]

Why do YOU (Believers) think Jesus Christ made it a point, to give Us (Believers) specific examples of people We (Believers) should help?  Note, these are NOT the only people, We (Believers) are to help.  But by thinking of each person as being an Angel or even Jesus Christ, Himself, perhaps We (Believers) will treat each other, as We All deserve to be treated, with compassion, respect, and Love.  And The Greatest Love of All, God Almighty’s Unconditional LOVE for Us All.  We (Believers) have the honor and the joy of Preaching The Gospel of The Kingdom of God Almighty, God’s Amazing Saving Grace through God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  We (Believers) have the pleasure of sharing Jesus Christ with others, that’s exciting, and a wonderful reason to get out there.

So, what are We (Believers) waiting for?
