Two of the other racers, hearing the cries of the boy who fell, slowed down and looked back at him. Without hesitation, they turned around and ran toward the injured boy and helped him to his feet. All three of them then linked arms and together they walked to the finish line. By the time the trio reached the end, everyone in the stands was standing and cheering, some with tears rushing down their faces.(1)
Forgetting self to care for others - we see it clearly in Jesus. Does he see that in us? This Sunday we will explore three different aspects of Coming Alongside to Care.
