JESUS WENT ABOUT DOING GOOD
(Nuggets from Acts 10:38)
If you read about the ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ as captured in the gospel accounts, you’ll discover that He spent a lot of time traveling, preaching, healing, and praying.
Jesus also spent a lot of time accepting invitations from the people He met along the way.
He visited friends like Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, and even promised Zacchaeus a visit to his house.
Jesus also wanted to dine with people who disagreed with Him, going so far as to eat in the homes of Pharisees like Simon (Luke 7).
Jesus didn't find it awkward meeting with PUBLICANS and SINNERS, after all, He didn't come for the RIGHTEOUS, He came for the Lost.
Jesus fed multitudes at several occasions, and for Him, breaking bread was not only about spending time with people He had a lot in common with, He also modeled how true relationship is about crossing boundaries and making time for all, including His enemies.
Jesus knew that a simple act of HOSPITALITY would create the perfect platform for emotional, relational, and spiritual transactions.
God anointed Him for this purpose with the Holy Ghost and Power, as His son, to help Him fulfil His ministry on earth. Jesus knew what He carried within Him; He didn't want to keep it to Himself.
Jesus knew He had a brief ministry and that He would die early, having just 3 ½ years to touch lives, and He maximized the time so well.
He went about doing good, touching lives, transforming individuals, delivering the oppressed and possessed who had been mesmerized by devils, not because He wanted to do some theatrical performance, but because this was His mission and He understood it so well and left no stone unturned.
Jesus fulfilled His ministry on earth, the consummation being the vicarious death on the cross of Calvary; and now He has handed over the baton to you and I.
HOW FAR HAVE YOU GONE WITH THE CALLING AND MINISTRY GOOD PLACED IN YOUR HANDS?
HOW MANY LIVES HAVE YOU TOUCHED?
HOW MANY SOULS HAVE YOU SAVED AND WON FOR THE KINGDOM?
THE TASK IS ENORMOUS AND URGENT, DO ALL YOU CAN TO TOUCH LIVES WHILE YOU ARE STILL HERE; LIKE JESUS, LET YOUR LIFE BE A CHANNEL OF BLESSING TO OTHERS.
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
