Two questions

• Is this passage saying that if we care for the needy that we can earn a place in heaven?

• What was the motivation of these people who helped and what should ours be?

As a church we are called to move from “planned compassion” towards “heart compassion”, embodying the heart of Jesus wherever we go.

3 Practical Points

1. You have to go and be there…

2. "Who here is in need?"

3. Be willing to be uncomfortable.
