Jesus set examples on his journeys, showing people love, care and compassion. He viewed everyone equal so no one had higher priority than any one else. People try and follow what Jesus did, but do them in a variety of different ways: The job that they do. They may be involved with people in need of help (Nurse, Doctor etc…). Some may feel that they have been ‘called’ by god to perform these jobs.
Many Christians follow the bible teachings rather than a career, many of which choose to live in a contemplative state becoming a monk or nun.
Many Christians go to great lengths to help the needy, they may move to a specific area of a city where there are people who are in need of help. Some may move to different countries where the needs are far bigger. Volunteers may take time out to help the poor by helping in soup kitchen or other forms of assisting.
Many Christians put income towards people who are less fortunate. They may give it directly to organisations such as Christian Aid or indirectly through the church.
Jesus campaigned for justice in his actions and journeys so therefore many Christians feel obliged to attack the coarse of injustice where people are treated badly. Martin Luther King felt that something should be done about the racial factor on America, he felt it was his duty a Christian to bring both races together and to live as one.
Bible teachings make it clear that each Christian should try to live by honesty and truthfulness. If they successfully do this, its part of their ‘witness. Christians are encouraged to preach the teachings of Jesus and faith, they can do this in many ways; conversation, inviting non Christians into church, going from door to door, many people feel obliged to work abroad preaching etc… All of which are inter-linked and Christians try to do these things to be a disciple.
