THE FRUIT BEARING LIFE PART 5 – GOODNESS
Sunday, October 22, 2023Key Verse
“As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” Galatians 6:10
Text — Galatians 6:6-10
Message
Joseph’s brothers were very cruel and wicked. They could not control their envy for him, so they sold him off into slavery. However, Joseph showed goodness to his brothers when he had the opportunity. He not only saved them but rescued the whole generation from hunger, starvation and famine. It takes someone with the heart of Jesus to freely forgive and still be good to people who have hurt or treated him badly.
Jesus, during His earthly ministry, was going everywhere doing good and delivering all that were oppressed. He kept doing good because of His love for the whole world. He died on the cross and resurrected the third day. Even today, He’s still doing good, saving sinners, healing the sick and delivering the oppressed. He is our perfect example, we must follow His steps and do good to everyone.
