Kindness!

March 14, 2022 Monday Message

Matthew 25:40 MSG, Jesus speaking: “The King will say, ‘I’m telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me.’”

Jesus spoke of storing up treasure in heaven. But to be clear, we’re saved by grace – the undeserved favor of God; through faith – our belief, our confidence in the Son of God, Jesus the Messiah. Our hope is in Jesus. But he also says heaven will think highly of those who are kind to others, especially the least of these!

If someone is hungry, give them something to eat. If they’re thirsty, offer a drink. Open your home to the less fortunate. Give away clothing to those who need it. Visit the sick and those in prison. And pray for everyone, even your enemies.

You see, believing in Jesus and being kind go hand-in-hand. The Christians, the ‘Jesus’ people, tend to be nice. They spill out benevolence! Like the song says, “They will know we are Christians by our love!”
