TOPIC: PROVIDE FOR THE NEEDY BRETHREN IN THE CHURCH
TEXT: 2 CORINTHIANS 8:1-4
KEY VERSE: Galatians 2:10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.”
Believers are exhorted to do good to all men in the world. Through our good works and benevolence many sinners and religious men and women will be attracted to Jesus and gospel doors will be opened for us in their lives. In this same way, believing wives are instructed to be obedient and kind to their unbelieving husbands. However, the apostle showed that more attention should be given to the poor and needy among the saints. Be concerned for the less privileged brethren. Strengthen them as much as you can that they may enjoy Jesus as you do. Provide money, wears, food, sponsorship and medical care for them. Get marriage partners for them if you can. Be willing that God may use you to fulfill His promises in their lives. The early church brethren provided for the poor and needy among them, both for those who were far and those who were near.
Acts 11:28-30 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar. Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea: Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
1 Corinthians 16:1-2 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
The churches of Christ in the apostolic era cared for one another. Churches which faced hardship were supported to protect the faith of the believers. This same spirit is required today. Denominationalism of the churches of Christ today should not blind our eyes to the fact that we all belong to one body. True churches of Christ must care for one another without denominational restrictions.
Thought for the day: Give and it shall be returned to you in good measure
Song for the day: Give and it shall be given unto you, good measure … and running over
Bible reading for the day:
Exodus 22-24; Matthew 20:17-34
