Be the Hands and Feet of Jesus

There are many things that I love about Jesus Christ, the Son of God who was born into this world as a helpless little baby and had a childhood and a mother and family, and lived, worked, played, ate, breathed, had trials, dealt with every day stuff, slept as a human being and did the whole life thing; he was flesh and blood like us. He knew the customs, the ways of man to belittle women and yet he chose to advocate for women. There were so many women, some slaves and some free who chose to support Jesus and his ministry in numerous ways. Many women had ministries of their own. People wanted to kill Jesus because he taught people to love God above all else and that took the power of the church officials away from them. Some people used their position to Lord over others for financial gain, prestige, and power. Jesus sought to destroy those positions, the high seats in high places, and put God back on the throne in people's hearts and people in direct contact with God. These women did all sorts of things that could have gotten them killed because they chose to do what they could to help Jesus with his ministry. These were women who had to do and say things in hiding to keep from being imprisoned,, beaten or killed because they stood up for what they believed in and who they believed in, JESUS. Jesus stood up for us and laid down his life for us. Shouldn't we at least tell others about him and plant the seed of salvation. Or water a seed that's been planted by fertilizing it with grace and watering it with love so it can grow and that person be saved. Our words are powerful. We can use our words to build up or tear down, to speak life or to speak death. Wisely choose the words that you will say today and speak them loudly and clearly. This world needs Jesus and we're his hands and feet.
