What is the arch enemy team
for this town?
A Swindon town supporter
was walking through Regent Circus, when he was set upon by a group of nasty
people who beat him up etc. Oh good,
here comes a judge – he’ll help him. Etc.
Oh no, here is an Oxford Town supporter – depressed because he had just
been thrashed by Swindon - he won’t help.
But he bandaged his head, bought him some food, (with toilet roll) and
took him to hospital.
Jesus said the ones who
care aren’t just the people we think should be good, but everyone can be a
carer, no matter how unlikely they are.
Who does God care about?
Jesus said something really
shocking – every time you care for others, you are caring for me.
Prayer. Thank you that you care for us. Help us to care for everyone, no matter who
they are.
