Let Us Do Good


Ac 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

The words "do good" here means to be philanthropic, which defines as charitable and generous; devoted to helping others, especially in offering aid. Jesus had came to us anointed of God with the Holy Ghost and power to be charitable and generous to us, devoted to helping us, offering us aid.

John 3:16 says:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

God so loved us that he sent us one that would be charitable and generous to us. One that would be devoted to helping us. One that would be selfless and willing to lay down his own life for us. One that would go face to face with the enemy and come up with keys to help us to make it to the other side victorious.

Jesus had no selfish agendas, no wrong power motives. He was not pressing for position. He wasn't hungry for fame. He was just out to do the will of the Father. And the Father's will was that none perish.

Jesus did good to all He met.
He befriended Mary, and Martha.
He raised Lazarus from the grave.
He gave sight to the blind.
He opened deaf ears.
He loosed the tongue of the mutes.
He healed a withered hand.
He caused a bend women to be straight.
He aided the invalid at the pool.
He gave peace and counsel.
He educated.
He fed the hungry.
He blessed the children.
He defeated death, hell and the grave for our eternal good.

Jesus did good!

Don't you think it is time to be like Jesus ... and do good!
