Loving him

Loving people sacrificially- is that what is all about for Christians? Is that what we show to the world? To those who don't know him? Or do we kind of count on evangelists to take care of that. Do we focus on loving Christ followers who go to the same church as us, who practice the same things as us? I find having a bag of food to provide a homeless person such a thrill. Such a blessing. Such a gift from God that when I do it, nothing satisfies more than being able to do it. Jesus was often seen with tax collectors, prostitutes, the hungry, the poor, those who were beaten down and oppressed by the society he lived in. He challenged rich people to give it all away, to sell what they had and give to others. To walk away from their daily jobs of fishing and tax collecting and families and pick up their cross and follow him. What cross do we pick up daily? Who do we follow?
