Point 4: Passion for people (Passion of Jesus)

Where is your passion?
Where is the passion that affects those around you?
Where is the passion that impacts the lives of people in your world?
If you want to be like Christ, where is your passion?

Passion is a focused energy, a commitment, a desire, a willingness to go the extra mile, a willingness to go beyond the average, an unusual feeling and emotion that moves us to action.

You are passionate about something but are you wasting your passion on things that don't matter for eternity. Are you following Jesus with passion that makes a difference in the kingdom of God and in the lives of people?

Jesus has a passionate love for people.
Love your neighbor as yourself.

I know you can, but will you?

It doesn't matter what you do, some one will not like it.

It is not about being awesome but it is about being willing.

Would be one of the laborers?

3 Things we do to love our world

1. Show them you have a real relationship with Jesus.
Show them that you really know him.
Show them that your faith is sincere. That you are not just being religious.
The world doesn't care what you think until they think that you care about them.

2. Giving/Sacrificing for something bigger than ourselves.
We live and give for something bigger than ourselves, beyond ourselves.

3. James 1:27
"Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world."
Do something practical and keep yourself unspotted from the world.

There is an element in our lives that we live for God because someone else is watching. We stay right with God, because someone else is watching.
We live for something beyond ourselves.

Let's delight in Jesus and move with compassion for people who need us.
