We as Christ-followers are living observed lives. Others are watching us. And our concern for others, particularly the least among us, is an expression of the compassion Christ displayed to the hurting and outcast of His generation. James, the half-brother of Jesus, challenged believers to put the love of Christ into practice. He wrote, “Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world” (James 1:27). The example of Christ and the Words of Scripture inspire us to care for our hurting world. Who is watching us? Our world is watching. And so is our Lord! When people observe our lives, do they see the love of Christ? – James 1:27
