Do you remember the line “Move that Bus” from Extreme Home Makeover? I want to share a story with you where we got to experience that very occasion. 

Ken and I were living in Illinois, and a contractor contacted Ken about helping him gather the community together and help remodel a home for a couple in a small community.  The wife had been in a car accident one night driving home after a double shift. She tried to crawl out of the car and in the process paralyzed herself from the waist down.

Why should we go and tell others about Jesus and His amazing grace? Why is it important that we each do our part of the great commission found in Matthew 28:19-20?  “Go and tell” is a commandment, the last one Jesus gave us before His return to His throne in heaven.  Aren’t pastors and missionaries paid to do this for us?  No, we are all included in that command as Jesus followers.

When I was a teenager, my friends and I took quizzes in magazines that  measured our love aptitude.  I am not sure if we put much value in them, who can remember that far back, but now it makes me chuckle to think of us piled up in a bed giggling and checking boxes.

If we are really going to learn about love, we have to go to the source of love…God.
