What the Good Shepherd Tells Us About Being Present to Marginalized Populations
Our King and Good Shepherd looks after and longs to care for the ‘least of these’ around us and including us. Jesus says in Matthew 25:40, “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’” King Jesus cares for us and calls us to follow in His ways to care for the marginalized, oppressed and those the world calls the ‘least,’ but who Jesus calls his very own ‘brothers and sisters’.
During this Tending the Call online experience we are invited to explore the character of our Good Shepherd (Ps 23), experience His tender care, explore what our calling is, seek after His vision of those around us, and ask Him to show us how we are to be tending this call to care for the ‘least of these’ (Mt 25:40). In this process, may we be more transformed into our King and Good Shepherd’s image and led deeper into His great love. Presenter is Rose Larson, Prayer Pastor and Associate Pastor of Missional Life, Church of the Open Door, in the Twin Cities.
For pastors, church lay leaders, community volunteers, mission advocates and those interested in this important work for the church and our communities.
