I have a challenge for you all. Instead of dumping ice on your head and donating $10 to organization that you hadnt heard of until two weeks ago why dont you take on this challenge, I call it the Neighbor Challenge. Why dont we, especially we who call ourselves followers of Christ, live as we are called to live? My challenge is to look for the needs around you, if you look you will find those needs. I challenge you to take on just one of those needs and meet it for another person and expect nothing in return. Heres the kicker...Do it, and tell no one. Simply tell the person that youve helped to do the same for someone else. Imagine what this country could be if we all lived as Christ told us to live. Start with one and let your compassion multiply. “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.” (Matthew 25:34-46 NIV)
