Who Do We See?
March 30, 2012

For many years, Allen Funt’s Candid Camera television program delighted viewers by using a hidden camera to catch the often hilarious reactions of ordinary people to unexpected situations. Their approach, according to his son Peter was: “We believe people are wonderful, and we’re out to confirm it.” Peter feels the perspective of some other similar shows is that “people are stupid, and we’re going to find ways to underscore that.”

His comments point out that our view of people determines how we treat them.

The citizens of Jericho were offended when Jesus went to the home of Zacchaeus the tax collector. “When they saw it, they all complained, saying, ‘He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner’” (Luke 19:7). Yet, when Zacchaeus had a deep change of heart (v.8), Jesus told him, “Today salvation has come to this house . . . for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost” (vv.9-10).

My friend Bob Horner says, “When we see people as losers, we treat them with contempt. When we see them as lost, we treat them with compassion.”

Jesus doesn’t see losers, only lost people He loves. When we look at others, who do we see?

Oh, give me, Lord, Your love for souls,
For lost and wandering sheep,
That I may see the multitudes
And weep as You did weep. —Harrison

Those who have been found should seek the lost.

Read: Luke 19:1-10

The Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost. —Luke 19:10

Bible in a Year:
1 Kings 1-4

Aloha, Hawaii...((HUGS))...LOTS of melting yesterday, but freezing temps over night. It was HORRID and white knuckle driving this morning. ICE, ICE, AND ICE. The main roads were all iced over.

Hope you have your sun back.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good job!! Forward progress is a good thing.

I am headed home on streets that are awash with snow melt.

Back shortly.

[ConorMacNessa]

Safe Travel, Kathy!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Fiji...thanks for the 1954 tunes. ((HUGS))

Hope you had a wonderful day. Is it spring at your house? It is trying really hard here in the day time, but not at night.

[Kathy in Alaska]

LUV!!! My goodness I cracked up when I saw the pig. Lot of those weeeeeeeeeeeeee commercials lately. Now I can’t get the weeeeeeeeeeeee out of my head. LOL!

[LUV W]

ROFL!!! They kinda have the same affect on me! I almost had to post it with my eyes closed! ;)

[TASMANIANRED]

We’ve been short for weeks and weeks.

Sol’s wound is looking much better.

Kitty is filling in.

I’ve needed a hair cut for a long time.. Since Runamuck I don’t have the running around time that I used to have.

Not gonna need to throw the dice for a long time.

[TASMANIANRED]

Evening Luvvy, Hugs.

It’s been beautiful for days, gonna storm for the weekend.

[Fiji Hill]

Hope you had a wonderful day. Is it spring at your house? It is trying really hard here in the day time, but not at night.

It's cooler than normal, with clouds. I wish it would rain some more. We're in a bad drought.

[LUV W]

Howdy there! Good to see you this evening! Hope you are geared up for a great weekend! :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

Today is Thursday, right? Did you have PT tonight?

[LUV W]

Well, of course it’ll storm...you’re off!

Would you come visit me? :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Is the new guy still studying?

When might he be ready to step in and help you?

Glad to hear that the kids are doing better.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS)...how were Thursday lessons?

[ConorMacNessa]

PT last night - pain tonight. I’d post a smilie-face but I can’t find the colon on this touchpad.

[TASMANIANRED]

I wish that I could.

Storms always keep me from getting done what I want to accomplish.

[TASMANIANRED]

The new guy is up and running but not to speed yet.

The one out sick/surgery should be back in April.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, AZ, for the red, white, and blue tribute.

Was your commute more safe today? Less of a hassle? *HUGS*

[LUV W]

I imagine...your storms last so much longer than ours do!

I hope your garden is very successful this summer!

Last night was the last time we get to use our sprinklers. From
now on, we can only water for 2 hours on Thursday nights, using
a hand-held sprayer with a trigger that turns on the water.

2 HOURS a WEEK! It’s going to look bad here if we don’t get
rain. :(

[Kathy in Alaska]

There are still things I can't find on my iPad.

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! Let me guess....her name is Ann, and she seems to have gone over to the dark side.
