Now Jesus Called His Disciples
To Himself And Said,
"I Have Compassion On The
Multitude."
Matthew 15:32
In A Recent Telethon One Stand-Up
Comic After Another Joined A Big Show
For A Relief Project.
One Line From The Show Stood Out.
"Help Those In Need," The Announcer
Said, "And Feel Good About Yourself."
The Motivating Factor Behind Helping
Those Facing Famine Was Selfish.
This Pricks Our Conscience.
Do We Do Good For Others In Order To
Feel Holy, To Feel Important, To Feel In
Control?
Jesus Loves Sacrificially. He Commands
Us To Love As He Does. Love Requires Us
To Do Good For Others.
Is Out Motivation Selfless Or Selfish?
If It Is Selfish, There Is A Good Chance That
Our Good Deeds WIll Be Shallow And, More
Importantly, Will Not Last.
Lord, Make Us Like You. Cause Our Love To
Be Lasting In Its Effect.
