BECOMING A GIFT TO OTHERS














BECOMING A GIFT TO OTHERS


Are you a GIFT
To others-
With your life?
With your personality?


If not=HOW do you
Become one?


This Holy week=decide to
MAKE CHRIST your model=
Decide to follow him-
With the ACTIONS
Of your life


“I have given you
A MODEL to follow


So that as I
Have done for you
You should also do” John 13:15


Today is a GLORIOUS FEAST=
The feast of Holy Thursday=
It is the day
Of the EUCHARIST


The day
For all MINISTRIES=
And the day
Of the washing of the feet


MOST of all=it is
The day to FOLLOW Christ=
And to take on self-giving


TAKE Jesus as your model=
Become a GIFT to others
With your life


“For the wages of sin
Is death
But the GIFT OF GOD
Is eternal life
In Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 6:23


“But each of you
Has your OWN GIFT
From God


One has this GIFT-
Another has that” 1 Corinthians 7:7


“For it is by grace-
You have been saved
Through faith--------


And it is NOT from yourselves
It is the GIFT OF GOD--------


Not by works-
So that no one can boast” Ephesians 2:8


Your life to you
Is a gift FROM GOD=
Use it as a gift=
Grace=and BLESSING for others


Take Christ as your MODEL=
Be a GIFT TO OTHERS


Jesus had COMPASSION=He
Always LISTENED to others=
Be compassionate=
Use your life
To HELP OTHERS


Be a GIFT TO OTHERS=
Take Christ as your MODEL


Jesus BLESSED the CHILDREN=
And kept going
When he was tired


He turned the other cheek
And always FORGAVE
Take Jesus as YOUR MODEL=
BE A GIFT-to others


“And so you became
A MODEL
To all the believers
In Macedonia=and Achaia” 1 Thessalonians 1:7


“We did this
Not because we
Do not have the right
To such help


But in order
To offer ourselves
AS A MODEL
For you to imitate” 2 Thessalonians 3:9


This Holy Thursday
Look at your life=
From the standpoint of Jesus


And BECOME A GIFT=
A model for all others
(A gift of grace and a BLESSING)


In Jesus' name=and in the name of our FATHER GOD=who is PERFECT LOVE
