Jesus never misses anyone. The weakest, smallest, and least powerful are all of inestimable value to God. Heaven is fully aware of how the most helpless person on earth is treated by others.
The news headlines may trumpet the activity of kings and prime ministers, but Jesus alerted His followers to what it is He focuses upon. When we show kindness to children or to the marginalized of society, God has promised that we will not go unrewarded. God has provided every incentive for us to be kind to to others.
The key is to demonstrate kindness in Jesus’ name. Our acts of kindness are not to build our name, but to exalt Christ. It is not enough merely to show kindness. Our actions must be purposeful. Certainly, we ought to be kind, because we are kind people. But we also ought to seek every opportunity to represent Christ well.
How are your acts of kindness causing people to think more highly of Jesus?
