Denver, Day 3, Christ in the City, March 12, 2025

When thinking about this trip the word simplicity is the word I would use to describe it. I tend to over complicate and think most things in my life, and serving the poor is absolutely one of those things. But the way Christ in the City reaches out the poor completely wrecked my thought processes about serving and has re made my foundations for fulfilling the command to love the least of my brothers. All it takes to serve and love my neighbors, no matter their material wealth, is merely an introduction on my part and an inquiry into how their day is going. It might be incredibly awkward and I might not have any idea about what to say, but the authentic reaching out is all that is asked of me. I don’t need to over think, I don’t need to have a script. Christ asks that I simply show up and offer myself to my neighbor, and He will take care of the rest.
