What would He do?

This year I find myself pondering the reality of what Jesus would actually do if he lived here in the flesh. We have spent most of our married life in a "Church Bubble". We were heavily involved in teaching Sunday school, singing with the worship team, hosting and leading small groups and spending all of our time and energy in the church or with other Christians. While that in itself isn't terrible, actually it was quite wonderful! I just felt when we moved to Cali, that we were somehow in grave danger. That the "others" were going to contaminate us. Like lepers or something.

Well, last night we went trick or treating. Somehow I felt like if Jesus was here in La Conchita, He would have been right there with us. He would be with the sick, the lepers, the drunks...he would be at the party! He would be shining His Holy light in the darkness. Letting His Love spill out to the people. So that they may come to know Him. I am sure that He wouldn't keep himself locked up in the church building, forming his own exclusive club. Who will dine with the sick?Who will shine a light in a dark place? Who will share the love of Christ with the families of my sweet little town? Me and my house, that's who!
