Passion For The HarvestSample

In Matthew 25:31-46, Jesus calls his followers to action through His command to passionately meet the needs of others. In this powerful passage, the Lord comes to judge the nations by separating the sheep from the goats or the faithful from the faithless.

The faithful respond to the needs of people and are gathered up into glory. The faithless ignore the needs of others and experience some of the strongest language of judgment in the Bible. 

We live in a world of pressing need. Approximately 850 million people across the world are hungry, 2.7 billion people in the world live on less than $2 a day, and two-thirds of the world population do not know the freedom found in Jesus.

God expresses his passion for those in need through the actions of those willing to act in the name of Christ. How are you going to respond to the needs of the world? Do you feel a special call to care for the hungry, the sick, the poor, or the imprisoned? 

Dare to ask God for the courage to take action.
