Serving widows
July 17, 2017
Serving widows is not always a smooth thing. Read Acts 5. The new church was trying to do the right thing. Feed the hungry widows in Jerusalem. Opps. The Jewish widows were fed well, the Hellenistic widows (Jews who spoke Greek) were not. Thankfully the church leaders chose a group of men to oversee this and get it right. Was this a prestigious task like preaching? No, but remember Jesus words.
“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.’
Do you want to do something for Jesus? Look around you. What is the need of a widow you see? What would Jesus want you to do?
