What Do We Look Like?

When they (Jesus and His disciples) had crossed over they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.

When they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized Him, and ran about that whole country and began to carry here and there on their pallets those who were sick to the place they heard He was.

Wherever He entered villages, or cities, or countryside, they were laying the sick in the market places, and imploring Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were being cured.

Mark 6:53-56

Is this a picture of how Christians should be perceived or what? 

Jesus and the disciples were not seen as hypocrites or judgmental or holier than thou.  The people of Gennesaret saw them as being sent by God to minister to their needs and to heal the sick.  And, Jesus and the disciples did just that. 

When we minister first to the needs of people, we open their hearts to hear the Gospel.
