Hello Jesse,
I recently read about a preacher who posts a sign near the pulpit—where only he can see—a sign that reads: “We would see Jesus.” The sign serves as a reminder to him that his task is to make Christ known to the those who come to hear the Gospel.
Perhaps simply the abbreviation “WWSJ” would work, too!
In my travels these past several weeks, I saw the light of Christ shining bright in Selma, Alabama. I attended a long-term recovery committee meeting of local leaders discussing the ongoing rebuilding efforts in a city hounded by a history of deep racism and a recent tornado. I witnessed black, brown, and white pastors working together to bring healing and hope to the community. MDS is there rebuilding homes. That was certainly a “WWSJ” moment!
After I returned home, I learned that, during an evening of sharing and praying together, volunteers from Disaster Aid Ohio, an Amish volunteer group that works within the MDS circle, accepted the Key to the City of Selma from Mayor James Perkins, Jr. With a history of service in Selma, we continue our journey with our brothers and sisters in that community. Another blessed “WWSJ” moment.
Disasters continue to happen—but so, too, do those “WWSJ” lights of hope. As we continue to assess damages from deadly tornadoes in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, we search amid the devastation for the light of Jesus—and we seek to bring that light to others.
As we approach Easter, may we experience and share those “WWSJ" moments.
