EXPRESSING LIFE BY LOVE: THE GREATEST, MORE AND MOST EXCELLENT WAY!
What an awesome BLESSEDNESS, hearing Jesus say – GO AND DO LIKEWISE – meaning GO expressing LIFE through the EYES of LOVE AND CARE even when you are too busy, if you are to be my Disciple. In other words – DON’T BE SO HEAVENLY MINDED/MINDFUL and of NO EARTHLY GOOD – that’s the message to ALL:
- The PRIEST (Leadership)
- The LEVITES (Leadership Associate/Assistants)
- And YOU (In Any Capacity/Position).
Henceforth Jesus was and is endorsing the need of the hour and moment for all times, of LOVING BEYOND BOUNDARIES – Creed, Colour, Tradition, Denomination, Culture, Believe/Faith, Nations and more. For ALL humans are God’s irrespective of colour and looks and believe. (Acts 17:24-28; Galatians 3:26-29; Galatians 5:6, 13; Galatians 6:14-15/2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 10:11-13; John 13:34-35; John 15:13-14; 1 John 3-5:3)
Therefore – GO AND DO LIKEWISE – Jesus said to ALL. Do this by expressing LIFE through LOVE and CARE even when you are too busy.
BE BLESSED IN GOD’S GRACE AND BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“But covet EARNESTLY THE BEST GIFTS: and yet shew I unto you A MORE EXCELLENT WAY . . “ 1 Corinthians 12:31 – 1 Corinthians 13.
“And, behold, a certain LAWYER stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, WHAT SHALL I DO TO INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE? 26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how READEST thou? 27 And he answering said, Thou shalt LOVE the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy NEIGHBOUR as thyself. 28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: THIS DO, AND THOU SHALT LIVE. 29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, AND WHO IS MY NEIGHBOUR? 30 And Jesus answering said, A CERTAIN MAN went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, AND FELL AMONG THIEVES, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him HALF DEAD. 31 And by chance there came down a CERTAIN PRIEST that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 And likewise A LEVITE, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 33 But a CERTAIN SAMARITAN, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had COMPASSION on him, 34 and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, TAKE CARE OF HIM; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. 36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was NEIGHBOUR unto him that fell among the thieves? 37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, GO, AND DO THOU LIKEWISE” Luke 10:25-37.
“The God who CREATED the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; 25 nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, because it is He who gives to ALL [people] LIFE and BREATH and ALL THINGS. 26 And He MADE from one man every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having DETERMINED their appointed TIMES and the BOUNDARIES of their LANDS and TERRITORIES. 27 This was so that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grasp for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. 28 FOR IN HIM WE LIVE and MOVE and EXIST [that is, in Him we actually HAVE OUR BEING], as even some of your own poets have said, ‘FOR WE ALSO ARE HIS CHILDREN” Acts 17:24-28 Amplified.
