The Masses

week 5: So this journey I'm on (feeding the homeless) is not what was expected and everything at the same time. My friends and I were doing the same thing cooking hot dogs sharing life together and getting to know a few homeless people at least those who like hanging around. Now some background, we set up near The City Rescue Mission which house about 300+ homeless people. We set up after the mission is closed and who ever doesn't get in by 7:00pm sleep on the streets for the night, now some homeless choose to stay out of the mission for one reason or another they call themselves campers, I've encountered about 75 campers give or take so we plan to feed about 80 homeless. Well on this particular night the fire alarm goes off at the mission so there forced out for the moment and word gets out there are hot dogs being cooked so your talking at lest 200 people come looking for food and we have maybe 60 hot dogs by that time needless to say we were out within minutes it was crazy. We had to turn most of them away but we got to meet a couple people that night. It's shocking to see 200+ homeless people it really was over whelming for me. In that moment I couldn't help but ask, Why are there so many homeless here? What is my role in putting an end to this? I see Jesus Christ in a new way. Its like I've spent all this time seeking Him in church like most of us Christians do but I now know where to find Him now. Jesus is with the broken. Jesus is with the forgotten. Jesus is with the homeless. Jesus is with the hungry, Jesus is with the widow, Jesus is with the orphan and when I'm with those people I see Him at work. Jesus becomes tangible to me Its hard to describe its like I get to touch Him when I shake hands or hug those people out on the streets. In closing, Where can Jesus be found tangible in your life?
