Theme: “Helping our neighbor

Text: 1 John 3:16-17

16. We know love, because he laid down his life for us; we also ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17. If anyone has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and closes his bowels from him, how does the love of God abide in him?


Remember:

Helping our neighbor involves giving of ourselves. If we want to be effective and relevant when dealing with a vulnerable person, we must open the door of our heart to them. However, we have the unfortunate habit of closing our heart instead of opening it. Closing or opening the heart means refusing or accepting to help. When we procrastinate before helping someone, we close the door of our heart. A person committed to helping his neighbor, does so without hesitation. Let us have a kind of “naivety” if we must help someone so as not to hesitate, procrastinate or postpone helping. If there is a farce in our neighbor’s request, let the sanction fall on his own head as suffered by Ananias and Sapphira who wanted to deceive the Spirit of God. For us, let us keep the door of our heart wide open to all kinds of help. We have known the sincere love of God manifested in Jesus Christ, in that he gave his life for our sins. God was not obliged to do it because sin comes from our own disobedience. We too must give our lives for people who are in difficulty. The sacrifice to be made for our neighbor is not limited. It can include finances, work, housing, clothing, meals, sharing the Word of God, intercession (praying for our neighbor). Everything can be given without counting the cost. We should do it every time we get the chance. Have a great Saturday. Amen
