Jesus is worthy of an intentional church. Jesus expects his followers to do what he did. That is a great expectation ! In John 14:12 Jesus said that his followers would do what he did and then some if they had faith. And in Matthew 25:35 -36 Jesus said that when he was hungry someone gave him something to eat and drink as well as clothes to wear.
The church that honors the name of Jesus is the church that is intentional about being the church to the people in the shadow of its steeple(big gathering). Or in the shadow of its own front porch(your neighbors). Jesus is worthy of each of us who carry his name in our heart to also carry his name on our hands. And we don’t need a committee to tell us how and what to do. It’s simple: If YOU see someone who is hungry then YOU feed them. Don’t call the deacons or the elders or the benevolence committee. Get them some food ! Be intentional !
