45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. --Jesus (Matthew 24:45-46)
Yeah, yeah, be a good disciple, blah, blah, stay ready for Jesus's return.
But, have another look. There are some servants of the Lord who are charged with feeding the other servants. This is a huge responsibility. Surely those of us who have food also have a clear call to feed those who don't. We need to "give them their food at the proper time."
It's hard to miss the point here. Jesus expects his servants to take care of each other, specifically by providing food. So, let's get busy.
- Food pantries
- Famine relief
- Help with healthy eating
- Community gardens
- Friends for dinner
Jesus uses food to communicate his love. So let's step up and share his love with heaping plate of spaghetti and a dozen glazed doughnuts!
