jesus won’twalk 100 yards for YOU, not even for this girl pictured!!!
This is the message being preached to the small
gypsy community I visited today. This is the message the Romanian
church down the street screams with their actions and words.
The village we went to today consists mostly of Romanians, except for
one street of Gypsies who are looked down upon, ignored, and
avoided. They are supposed to keep to themselves, and are not to
interact or come into the Romanian part of the village.

The people who profess to be Christ followers from
this village, seem to fit into the second group mentioned in Matthew
25.

“Then he will say unto those on the
left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire
prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave me
no food; I was thirsty and you gave me no drink; I was a stranger and
you did not take me in, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in
prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer him saying,
‘Lord when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or
sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer
them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to
one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.'”

Matthew 25:41-46
Theyare HUNGRY (physically and spiritually) yet go unfed…
They are thirsty (spiritually) yet go unquenched…
They are naked and go unclothed…
They are the least of these and NO ONE comes…
People from across the world have come to visit
these Gypsies, but the “jesus” in the “church” down the street will have
nothing to do with this community that live 100 yards down the road.

When the children followed us to our car, some
Romanians told them to go back to their homes and get away. Honestly,
the Romanians and gypsies don’t look that much different from each
other. YET, the hate the Romanians have towards the gypsies could be
comparable to how the blacks probably felt in America years ago.

It issad that the Romanians in this area claim to be Christ followers, but
when it comes to his word they pick and choose what they want to follow
and obey. They obviously have marked out the verse that commands us to love
our neighbor as ourselves. I bet the people that attend the
church down the road will be real surprised who makes it to Heaven and
who doesn’t on judgment day, because I know God loves these gypsies with
all His heart. And eternal life is available to them
just as much it is available to the Romanians.
I know my JESUS would and
does walk 100 yards to meet these gypsies where they are at.
