Title: Good Deeds
Memorize: And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise. Luke 6:31 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: Luke 6:38 (Nkjv)
[38] Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.
Message:
Being good to people is one of God’s commandments that not many people obey without ulterior motives.
While some people help others only when it is convenient for them, others help with the intention of getting something in return.
Some Christians also only help others when they are in a good mood. This is not how Christ showed us to love.
The Bible says that we should love others and always do good to people, whether it is reciprocated or not.
I am always surprised when l hear a Christian say, “Love is reciprocal; if you do not love me, I will not love you.” Is that in your Bible?
My Bible tells me to love my neighbour as myself. This means that if I love to eat good food, then I should try to ensure that my neighbour eats good food also.
If l love to wear beautiful dresses, I should also try to ensure that my neighbour wears the same.
You should do good to everyone who comes in contact with you, regardless of their race, religion, or social status.
Remember that the little boy in Matthew 14:17-19 had a lunch that consisted of only five loaves of bread and two small fishes, yet it fed over 5,000 people.
Imitate him and do good with your little resources.
Key Point:
Do good to everyone you come in contact with.
