The Good Minister
It is was Christmas day and the Minister and his family were having their Christmas lunch, with all sorts of special food and other delicacies.
The minister was happy as he had preached a good sermon and was complimented for it.
Having done his Christmas Day duty, he was pleased with himself.
Soon after, they to were open their Christmas presents and in great joy, the children would play with them.
No one would give a thought to what was happening outside of them, or if any of the congregation were also having a good time as they were.
No thought was given to the homeless, the hungry, those who could not have afforded Christmas presents, the lonely or those whom had any need.
After all he had done his duty and had met the needs of the congregation and his family as he saw their needs.
Jesus looked down and pondered how His love was expressed by that Minister and his family and how the Minister could be so self-centred to ignore the needs of those whom he had been sent too.
After all, he was to minister where Jesus said to, and not just to the congregation.
He puzzled how the Minister, when he faced Jesus, would justify his Christmas dinner and enjoy it while so many around him were in need both in and out of his congregation.
After all, the love of Jesus was to be shown all, and Jesus had said if you have something you do not need but others could use it, and you don’t give it to them when I tell you, how can you say My love is in you?
Jesus went away pondering why so many ministers at Christmas ignore those around them, those whom they could Minister to in some way that would show God’s love to them, meet their needs and give them the joy the Minister had at Christmas.
This attitude should really have been with the Minister all year, and not just at Christmas.
How could the church have gotten His love so wrong?
So Jesus asks the Minister and the congregation: “Are you like this Minister all year, except for special days, or do you show My Love all year?
Do you and your congregation have this attitude or do you show My Love to all around, not just to the members in the congregation?
You are my disciples, if you show love to one another, and show the Father’s love to those who are around you, but not just in the congregation.
By the way you expressed your love, you will be judged, and it will be determined whether you spend eternity with Me, or in hell.”
Jesus.
