DURING his ministry,

Jesus needed many

things that ordinary people

 provided for him. Simon

 Peter provided a boat for

 traveling and preaching.

Martha and Mary provided

 hospitality. Mary Magdalene,

 Joanna, and Susanna provided

 financial support. A woman

 of Samaria gave Jesus water.

A small boy gave his lunch,

and Jesus used it to feed

5,000 people. Someone

lent Jesus a colt to ride

on Palm Sunday. A friend

 provided a room in which

 to celebrate the Passover.

 Simon of Cyrene carried

 Jesus' cross. Joseph of

Arimathea provided a tomb.

What can we give that Jesus

needs? Does Jesus need a

home in which to offer

 hospitality and Christian

 fellowship? A car to transport

 homebound people to shops,

 hospital, or church?

Christian books to spread

 the word? Money for charity?

 Someone to visit the sick and

 lonely? A listening ear

or a loving touch?

A prayerful spirit or

 an understanding heart?

Let us give. If anyone asks,

 "Why are you doing this?

" we can answer,

"The Lord needs it.
