    Crisis: Dangerous Opportunity

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 14, 2001
    based on 39 ratings
     | 5,175 views

    Jesus precipitated a crisis for others around Him: for Judas, for the disciples, for Peter. Their reactions are like ours -- confused -- but Jesus knows who He is in the midst of the crisis.

    There are three ways to look at people: (1) as prey - whom we can make a profit from; (2) as trouble to avoid, or (3) as an opportunity for us to serve. The Lord says we are to minister to others, especially those in need.

    Luke 10:30-37 Seize the Opportunity to Serve 1929 words This parable tells us we can treat people in at least 3 different ways. (1) Like the robbers, sees a person as a prey. They are out to gain something from him. (2) Like the priest and the Levite, see the person as a trouble to avoid. ...read more

    The aloneness that has become a hallmark of our modern age presents a great opportunity for the people of God to present the message of life. As Christ calls people to rest in Him, the churches must echo that call.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” [1] Robert Putnam raised a red flag for people living in ...read more
