OTHERS PART 3

At the heart of this message lies a profound challenge: to see every person we encounter through the eyes of Jesus. Through a powerful poem and the foundational truth of Luke 6:31—treating others as we want to be treated—we're reminded that transformation begins with perspective. The message draws from William Booth's timeless wisdom that we cannot warm people's hearts with God's love if they have empty stomachs and cold feet, emphasizing that genuine ministry addresses both spiritual and practical needs. We explore three essential ways Jesus saw others: through eyes of compassion (feeling with people, not just for them), through eyes of love (demonstrated when Jesus wept for Lazarus), and through eyes of forgiveness (as shown on the cross when He said, 'Father, forgive them'). The call is clear—we must ask ourselves two critical questions: 'Who or what do I see?' and 'What should I do?' This isn't about grand gestures but about small acts done with great love. When we allow God to change our hearts, what flows from our mouths reflects that transformation. The harvest is great, but the workers are few—not because the need isn't there, but because we often have sympathy without empathy, busyness without action. Each of us can do something, and that something, when done through God's eyes, can change lives.
