Tomorrow something really exciting is going to take place. This weekend a crew of 215+ volunteers are going to descend upon the New Jersey Aids Service (aka the Eric Johnson House) and get cracking on an extreme makeover. Why you might ask?
That’s a great question. Pastor Tim Lucas, lead pastor at Liquid Church, explains that best. You can watch it here. Or you can download the audio version here.
In Luke 17:11-19 we see Jesus interacting with some people who were untouchable in His day and age. These were the lepers. They were the social outcasts who no one wanted around. No one even wanted to be near them. But Jesus did. In fact Jesus loved the untouchables. The question is, Do we?
The modern day lepers are those people with HIV Aids. This weekend we are going to break into our community with nothing but LOVE for a select group of people who most people think are outcasts and untouchable. Most people wouldn’t go near them with a ten foot pole.
IT’S TIME TO BREAK SOME POLES!
