On Sabbath I went to a Thai Prison in Saraburi, with my friends and family. We gave out bags that included; toothbrushes, sandles, soap and shampoo, and sang songs to the prisoners. They really liked it. Another fun thing that we did was hand out prayer request cards. They wrote down their requests and gave them to us. We also had a medical team with us. We passed out glasses to the prisoners, gave out medicine, and pulled out teeth. Yuck! (But I did not do that.)I learned what Jesus talked about in Matthew 25:36-40 that we should visit the people in prison.
36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’For My Blog Readers:
37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
- Have you ever visited Jesus in prison?
- Have you visited a prisoner?
- Have you ever shared Jesus with a prisoner?
