Invite Someone to Easter!
Pathway Points
Stepping Up for Jesus
Have you ever looked at the icons that we use for each
part of the Pathway? Each one has a hand (representing us) and a heart
(representing God). The Change Lives icon is a hand holding a heart. It’s meant
to represent us handing God to someone.
We often think of changing lives as a mission project
of some sort, like doing yard work or feeding someone a meal. However, as a
church we need to remember that we’re more than a charity. In everything that
we do, we’re supposed to offer Jesus, too.
This week, I want to challenge you to look around you
for someone to whom you can offer Jesus. I know that my sisters, my parents,
and I aren’t the only ones that live too far apart to get together for Easter. I’m
fortunate that my husband has family in the area. One of my sisters lives in
Seattle and her husband is Japanese. They have no family anywhere near them.
Once you find that person, invite them to join you for one of our Easter
gatherings. I know it’s a hectic day, but maybe even offer to pick them up so
they don’t have to show up alone.
As the big sister that wishes she could be there for
her little sister, I thank you for reaching out and sharing Jesus with someone.
It’s sure to be a life changing experience for both of you!
Stepping up with you in His strength!
