Helping Like Jesus

Jesus Helped People in Need

When He was on earth, Jesus healed people who were sick. He fed people who were hungry. He gave comfort to people who felt alone.

Jesus also taught His disciples to help others. He said they should give food, water, and clothing to people who needed them. He told them to visit people who were alone. Jesus said that when they served others, it was like they were serving Him.

You can read this story in Matthew 25:35–40.

My family ministers to Sister Rosa. Sister Rosa is 90, so she can’t go out of her home. I help Dad to load and transport firewood for Rosa.
