Seeing as some of you all have watched *The Passion* and have come to a relavation in your life, how many of you would like for me to post a devotional every day on here. I can't promise every day, because of course, i go out of town sometimes, but maybe post a devotional as often as possible?
I think that's a great idea.. I'd really like it.
Here's the first devotional!
February 27, 2004
A Good Neighbor
Read: Luke 10:25-37
Which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves? "?Luke 10:36
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Fred Rogers died February 27, 2003, scores of newspapers carried the story as front-page news, and almost every headline included the word neighbor. As host of the long-running children's television show Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, he was well known to millions of children and their parents as a kind, gentle, warm person who genuinely believed "each person is special, deep inside, just the way they are."
Mr. Rogers once told a journalist: "When we look at our neighbor with appreciative eyes, . . . with gratitude for who that person truly is, then I feel we are arm in arm with Christ Jesus, the advocate of eternal good." Because Rogers recognized the value of each person, he believed in being a good neighbor to all.
When Jesus was asked, "Who is my neighbor?" He told the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:29-35). At the conclusion of this story, the Lord asked, "Which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?" The answer? "He who showed mercy on him" (vv.36-37).
Who in our "neighborhood" needs a kind word, an arm of friendship, or an act of encouragement today? Jesus calls us to show love and compassion to others as we love God with all our heart, and our neighbor as ourselves. "?David McCasland
How many lives shall I touch today?
How many neighbors will pass my way?
I can bless so many and help so much
If I meet each one with a Christlike touch. "?Jones
Your love for your neighbor is proof of your love for God.
Not ashamed to say I used to watch Mr. Rogers every day when I was a little Mo. With all the stuff that's been going on in this forum lately, some people need to take those words to heart.
