This week, since we are celebrating Christ's birth by trying to do what He did which is serve, we gave our time to some people that many would say don't deserve it.
Jesus was always giving his time to what the Bible called the "least of these." Check out Matthew 25:31-40.
He was always giving his time and love to the unloved or who society would say didn't deserve it like the poor, the oppressed, the sick, the worst of sinners, criminals, etc. This is what made Christ live so Upside Down.
So this week in Edge, we gave our time to the least of these. We spent our time of worship this week writing cards and donating toothpaste and candy to guys at a juvenile detention center down in Green called Indian River. Many people would say that these kids don't deserve our time because of the crimes they have committed, but because of Christ, we know that they are well worth our time and our effort. After all, Christ thought we were worth it!
Pray with me that God would continue to show students this Christmas that it's not about them and that they would learn to live UPSIDE DOWN just like Christ did.
