5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus…
Yet another confirmation of our responsibility as Christians to imitate Christ. His humility, love, compassion as well as kindness toward others. There is no better way of expressing the Love of Jesus that through action. In this self centred world, a lost person is more likely to be touched and challenged by a kind and selfless act.
Hebrews 13:2 - Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
Our Daily Bread today also focuses on kindness to others. We live in a society where it is natural to make decisions and to act upon things that are in our own best interests. Things that benefit us, in status, wealth, position, relationships or power. Our Lord was completely selfless and gave up His life utterly and completely for our sins. When he rose again he commanded us to make disciples of all nations. It is therefore our responsibility to act as he did, being selfless and humble, showing the love of Jesus that others may see, experience and be saved.
And of course, don’t forget the above verse (Hebrews 13:2), you could be unwittingly caring for an angel! How awesome would that be?!
