The world and the Kingdom of God often have 180 degree different views on life. How older adults are valued is a big one. The world tells us that older people are over the hill, past their prime, and even invisible. God’s Kingdom takes a totally opposite view. The Bible teaches that older adults are valued for their wisdom, experience, knowledge, and street smarts. Not only are older adults not put out to pasture, but are used as warriors in God’s church. One great example is the widows in I Timothy 5:9-16. Widows are to be enrolled into service in the church. To disciple. To mentor. To pray. To serve. To live their entire life for Jesus!
This Sunday we will celebrate the value and usefulness of widows in the church. I pray it gives hope and encouragement to a population in our culture that is woefully under appreciated. Let’s gather and celebrate together!
