"Go and learn what this means: I desire mercy [that is, readiness to help those in trouble] and not sacrifice and sacrificial victims. For I came not to call and invite [to repentance] the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with God), but sinners (the erring ones and all those not free from sin)." -Matthew 9:13 (AMP)
It can be difficult to get some students to complete homework during and school year. The task of completing summer work can be even more challenging. Yet, teachers assign homework because it can help students learn and grow. As a teacher, it is important to make homework meaningful for the student.
Jesus gave homework, too. Jesus told those listening to Him that He wasn't sent to heal the healthy, He was sent to heal those that are sick and weak. Jesus knows that we can't save others, but that doesn't mean we can't help others. Jesus is looking for us to have compassion for others. It is up to us to help others find redemption through Jesus rather than ignoring their needs and sacrificing their souls. It is up to us to learn what Jesus means and then to help all people find Him!
Your homework: Understand the message of Jesus and then help others find Him!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for sending Jesus to teach me and help me grow. Please help me to understand the homework from Jesus and allow me to bring other people to Your redemptive plan. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
