Matthew 28:19-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto
the end of the world. Amen.
Kindness
Galatians 5:22 "But the fruit of the
Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith">
One of the fruits of the Spirit is
kindness, which a believer in Christ needs to possess and show to
others. In Luke Chapter 10 Jesus told a touching parable, in
which, a case of a person, who traveled from Jerusalem to Jericho, was
cited. The person as he traveled from Jerusalem to Jericho, he
fell in the hands of thieves, who stripped him, injured and left him
there. A priest came by that way and had not shown any kindness to
the injured traveled but left him and traveled his way. Likewise, there
came a Levite, who saw the injured person, and left him all alone,
without showing any kindness. There also came another man, a Samaritan,
who saw the injured traveler, lying there injured, clothes striped,
wounded. The Samaritan did not walk by just as the priest did, nor did
the Levite. Priest is supposed to be preaching the good news about
God, but he did not show any kindness toward the injured person.
The Levite, who comes from the priestly family of Aaron, did not show
any kindness, either. The Samaritan, who belongs to a sect that is
neglected, and hated, is the one, who came by to show kindness to the
injured traveler. He bound the wounds, poured oil and wine on the
wounds, and took care of the injured person. He not only did that
but he also took the injured person along with him to Inn, and
paid the charges for his residence there. In addition to that, when he
left the next day, he told the innkeeper that he will pay any extra
expenditure incurred on the injured traveler. That is the kindness
a person should show to his neighbor. Jesus was telling this
parable to a law-keeper, and asked him who was the true neighbor?
The law keeper told that he that showed mercy was the neighbor. Jesus
said in Matthew 5:41 "And whosoever shall compel you to go a mile, go
with him two.">
Dear friend,
Do you want eternal life? Please confess your sins to Jesus Christ and accept Him as your personal Savior. Whatever be your sin, and how grave it might be, it is pardonable through the blood of Jesus Christ.
God bless you
Dear brother/sister,
If you have not yet thought about working for our Lord Jesus Christ,
this is the time you think about it seriously. And If you have not yet accepted Lord Jesus Christ as your personal
Savior until now, you have lost much time. You may not get another
opportunity to repent of your sins. Today is the right time for you to
confess your sins to Jesus Christ. Please yield to Him.
