Roll up your sleeves

Saturday August 9th, Matthew 14: 16 Jesus replied, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat." 17 "We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish," they answered. 18 "Bring them here to me," he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The Kingdom is near. You give them something to eat. Don’t look at what appears to be scarcity; You give them something to eat. Don’t look at recidivism rates; You give them something to eat. Don’t worry about getting your hands dirty, You give them something to eat. This is not come to church on Sunday and be done with it stuff, this is get down in there and get your hands dirty, Kingdom living. It is not pie in the sky by and by in white robes righteousness living, it is blue jeans and roll up your sleeves day to day that is the righteousness of God living. Welcome to the Kingdom, now get out of the pews and get to work.
