With Youনমুনা
There are people in the world who are "in need," What do you think that means? Which needs do you think it means? Whether you're thinking about people in other parts of the world or people close to home, the truth is there are people everywhere who need greater access to essential things like clean water, shelter, food, or education. This was also true in Jesus' time. Back then, some people believed God wanted certain people to suffer. They thought maybe those people deserved it.
But when Jesus showed up, He showed us a different way. He cared deeply about people. He sought out people who had needs and helped meet those needs, but He also spent time with them. Jesus saw people's humanity first — not just their needs. And He calls us to do the same. Because whether it's someone across the ocean or across the street, we're called to be with people when they're in need.
What do you think it feels like to have someone reach out to you when you are in need?
