Thanks to Jeanne Russell for this poem. For the Lenten season, our church is studying "Seeing the Unseen Christ". This could be what Christ looks like to you and to me:
 
 
I saw Jesus last week. 
He was wearing blue jeans and an old shirt. 
He was up at the church building. 
He was alone and working hard. 
For just a minute 
He looked like one of our members, 
but it was Jesus, 
I could tell by his smile. 
 
I saw Jesus last Sunday. 
He was teaching a Bible class. 
He didn't talk real loud or use long words, 
But you could tell he believed what he said. 
For just a minute 
He looked like my Sunday School teacher, 
But it was Jesus, 
I could tell by his loving voice. 
 
I saw Jesus yesterday. 
He was at the hospital visiting 
A friend who was sick. 
They prayed together quietly. 
For just a minute 
He looked like my preacher, 
But it was Jesus, 
I could tell by the tears in his eyes. 
 
I saw Jesus the other day, 
He was bringing a covered dish over to me 
Because I had been sick. 
Just for a minute 
I thought it was in my sweet neighbor's 
Gentle hands stroking my shoulder, 
But it was Jesus, 
I could feel him in my soul. 
 
I saw Jesus this morning. 
He was in the kitchen making my breakfast 
And fixing me a special lunch. 
For just a minute 
He looked like my Mom, 
But it was Jesus, 
I could feel the love from his heart. 
 
I see Jesus everywhere, 
Taking food to the sick, 
Being friendly to a newcomer, 
And for just a minute 
I think he's someone I know, 
But it's always Jesus, 
I can tell by the way He serves. 
May someone see Jesus in me today 
 

Friends come and Friends go, 
but a true friend sticks by you like Family. 
     ~~  Proverbs 18:24
