To see Jesus in other people you have to first see Jesus in himself, I think. If you would treat a person with reverence and kindness because you see Jesus in them, you first have to become a person who treats Jesus with kindness and reverence.
To see Jesus in the faces of the sick, means that to see Jesus in the face of God is already meaningful.
What would you do if Jesus was physically present at your workplace? In your home? Maybe the answer to these questions is not as straightforward as I used to think.
I can ignore him while invisible, so why am I certain I'd pay attention to him if he was close enough to poke in the arm?
I want to treat Jesus with love and hospitality, and then I want to see Jesus in the students I work with.
