Unsung Heros - Week 1

Week  1 of Unsung Heros is in the books!  We read from Ruth Chapter 1 and talked about how Ruth chose to follow Naomi back to her hometown.  Our Big Idea was God gives us companions!  Ruth truly loved Naomi as herself.  She gave up everything to stay with her mother-in-law.  Think about that for a moment.  She left her home - her whole life - to follow Naomi.

In Mark 12:28-24, tells about someone else that gave up everything for someone else... namely us!  His name was Jesus!  Jesus gave up heaven to come to Earth and be among humans.  As he spent time with people teaching them about God and caring for them, he shoed them what it looked like to be a true companion to others.  

So wehn Jesus asked which of God's commandments was the most important, he told them to love God with everything and to leave others the way God loves them.  He was saying that we can show our lvoe for God when we show our love for others.

Ruth was a good companion and a good example fo the love Jesus tuaght his followers.  God gives us companions, the greatest of which is Jesus himself!
