The call of every Christian leader is to show compassion and create a culture of believers/followers who do the same. In the same way God modeled love, so are Christian leaders to make every effort to “do and be love.” Look no further than the account of the Good Samaritan (Lk. 10: 25-37) for an example of Christian leaders totally committed to the work of the “church” and are by nature without compassion for the one in need. It was the “non-churched” who assumed the duty to “care-for-the-one-in-need.”
In our day,
caring for the unfortunate Is mostly the responsibility of the government,
businesses and non-profit organizations.
Target groups outside the church: Homeless,
Widows, Elderly, Single Parent Families, Children, Low-income households.
The Biblical Mandate to Reach Our
Communities
“What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith
but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is
poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in
peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the
body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is
dead. But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your
faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” Jas.
2:14-18 ESV
“Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did
we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we
see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we
see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them,
‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,
you did it to me.’” Matthew 25:37-40 ESV

1.
