ByPatriciaMartin "... God anointed Je- sus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him." (Acts 10:38). All born-again Chris- tians have the Holy Spirit living within them. The resurrec- tion power of God lives within us, and we are qualified by God to go about doing good, and healing all who are op- pressed by the devil, for God is with us. We can live in such a way that we are the hands of God, reaching out to those in need. "Not that we are suf- ficient of ourselves to think of anything as be- ing from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the let- ter kills, but the Spirit gives light." (2 Corin- thians 3:5,6). How won- derful. We are to follow Jesus' example, going about doing good when- ever needs come to our attention, and we have the power to do some- thing about it. Some will say, "I can- not fix everything for everyone." That's true, but in reality we can do what we can do. We don't want to be like the priest and Levite who had an opportunity to help the man who went from Je- rusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and then departed, leav- ing him half dead. They chose to not get involved. The Good Samaritan chose the right path to follow by taking care of the wounded man. We have all heard the say- ing, "What Would Je- sus Do?" We know Jesus would have taken care of the man's need. Can we do any less? But perhaps we are capable of excus- ing ourselves, out of past practice, of not getting involved. "If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,' but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works is dead." (James 2:15-17). Being unresponsive, in responding to the needs of others, is sin. The Bi- ble has a lot to say about this. "Therefore to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin" (James 4:1). And again, "And let us not grow weary while do- ing good, for in due sea- son we will reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, es- pecially to those who are of the household of faith." (Galatians 6:9). Each one can help one, each one can win a soul to Christ, each one can give a Bible, each one can teach one, each one can feed one, each one can pray with one, each one can encourage one, each one can heal one, in Jesus Name. Each one can shelter one. Each one can provide blankets for the homeless on a cold winter's night. Each one can give an extra coat, gloves, or a hat to one without, and each one can minister the love of God into a hurting and empty human beings life. Church programs, committee meetings, short mission trips, com- munity outreaches, world missions, and etc. are needed and profit- able! However, none of them removes the need for individual ministry by each individual Chris- tian. During our daily lives, we see and hear of needs all around us. We partic- ipate in the above named activities, and more. But, are we not often like the priest and Levite? Let us ask ourselves how many times we have left the helping to someone else, or have just "traveled on" with our daily pursuits, neglecting the needs of those all around us. There are immediate needs that often go un- met because we are so busy with life. God un- derstands our distrac- tions, but even more, God sees in our hearts that desire to walk through life, following Jesus' ex- ample. Be blessed in knowing that El Roi (God Who Sees) understands the times we cannot help, but He also sees hearts that may be lukewarm concerning His call upon their lives, to follow Je- sus' example. Lukewarm is the only kind of heart He will not tolerate. There are serious de- cisions for each Chris- tian to make, especially in the world today that is saturated with dis- tractions. We each need to decide — what would Jesus do, and will we follow Jesus' example in loving others? Will we live like the Good Samaritan, the priest or the Levite? Will we follow Jesus?
