Sermon Illustrations

Homeless man is seated on a park bench during the noon hour. A business woman sits on the other end of the bench, begins to eat her sandwich, paying no attention to the man. Two children, boy and girl come along and sit down next to the man. They open their lunch bags and are about to eat when they decide to give their lunches to the homeless man. After doing so, they leave. A few seconds later, they come back and give the homeless man a hug. The contrast between the actions of the woman and the children is vivid in deed.
