Jesus’ teachings are full of love and compassion, and these words are not only widely circulated in the church, but also guide the lives of many people. Jesus once said: “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” (Matthew 7:12) This “golden rule” reminds us that no matter what situation we are in, we should treat others with love and compassion, especially those in difficult situations. Jesus’ concern for the homeless and lonely is particularly evident in his words and deeds, becoming a model for believers to follow.
Today, Jesus’ compassion for the homeless is not only passed down between the lines of the Bible, but also vividly reflected in works of art, such as the Homeless Jesus Statue. The statue depicts Jesus wrapped in a tattered blanket, lying barefoot on a bench, with a calm but compassionate expression. The statue is widely displayed in Christian communities and public spaces around the world, becoming a symbol to remind people to care for the vulnerable.
The significance of the Homeless Jesus Statue is far more than just a work of art. It guides believers to put Jesus’ words into action: care for the homeless and walk with the poor. The statue reminds us that every homeless person contains the image of Jesus. He communicates with us through their eyes and calls on us to lend a hand. Jesus’ words are not just words, but the power of our hearts, guiding us to care for everyone around us.
In modern society, material abundance has not eliminated poverty, and many people are still struggling on the margins. Jesus’ words and the Homeless Jesus Statue always remind us to help the helpless with love and action. I hope that every believer, under the guidance of Jesus’ words, will learn to love and share, and pass on the warmth from Jesus to everyone in need.
