Illustration Idea

Imagine this, meditate on this. If you can think about yourself walking up to a store, but the store next to is abandoned and for sale. There you see an adult person, you can’t tell the gender, because there are two many clothes sitting on the side walk with a needle in their arm, a bottle of whiskey next to them, and a sign asking for money. But all around the sign are piles of extremely graphic pornographic pictures held down by used bottles of alcohol and littered behind that are boxes from of tools with the security alarms still wired around them. Your store is only around the corner from your house and with eye shot of a school. You can see kids just about to walk by.

What needs to be done with this person?

What would Jesus do if he walked up?

What if, and imagine with me, that as you get even closer and the person who looks at you is yourself?
