Everyday Heroes, Matthew 10:40-42, Rev. Frank
Schaefer
Just a week
ago--as I was thinking about these words by Jesus--I
came across this headline:
Woman
helps blind Chicago Cubs fan hail a taxi outside
Wrigley Field
- Casey Spelman helped a blind man hail a cab outside
Wrigley Field in Chicago
- As the 26-year-old helped the man, a witness took
photos and put them online
- She was happy she was there to help and that he was
able to find a ride home
Isn’t that a
perfect modern-day example of what Jesus is talking
about? If we all started to be a bit kinder to one
another, this world would be such a happier and peaceful
place.
And notice that according to Jesus’ words, it doesn’t
take a huge effort. It doesn’t take an act of bravery to
show a gesture of kindness. Just welcoming another
person who God sends your way, just helping a blind man
hail a taxi, just giving a cup of water to a child will
have tremendous rewards. Superheroes not necessarily
needed...just everyday heroes.
