About doing good ... "If not here, where? If not now, when? If not you, who?" Rabbi Hillel, a Jewish rabbi and scholar in Jerusalem at the time of Christ.
Now when John, while imprisoned, heard of the works of Christ, he sent word by his disciples and said to Him, Are You the Expected One, or shall we look for someone else?
Jesus answered and said to them, Go and report to John what you hear and see: the blind receive sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the Gospel preached to them. And blessed is he who does not take offense at Me.
MATTHEW 11:2-6 NAS
Go tell John! These are the words from Jesus to the Point Man in His ministry. When I was in the Army in Vietnam I went on many patrols. We always had a point man. The job of the point man is to walk out ahead of the main element and keep a keen eye open for the enemy. Not only does the point man look for the enemy himself, he looks for any signs of the enemy and any traps that might have been laid. Of course if there is an attack by the enemy, the point man is usually the first to know it. The most dangerous job on any patrol is the point man! Father God had given Jesus a point man also. His name was John, and he walked out ahead of Jesus Christ for some time, preparing the people for the greatest spiritual awakening that the earth had ever seen. John did an excellent job, many hearts repented and were softened and ready to receive the Living Word, Jesus Christ. Today God has many point men out in the field. They walk into jails, prisons, and institutions every day caring a message of hope. I am so grateful for a couple of point men that came on a patrol to Leeds Farm, a Kansas City correctional institution, twenty-one years ago, and brought a Divine message of hope and the way to live a better life. They helped prepare my heart for the Living Word Jesus Christ. God was doing for me what I could not do for myself ..JRE
We are in the world to play the role He assigns. Just to the extent that we do as we think He would have us, and humbly rely on Him, does he enable us to match calamity with serenity.
