The Humane Christian


“But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.” Matthew 9:36

Jesus is kindhearted. He was the manifestation of God’s love to humanity. A real Christian must be humane. He or she must be a channel through whom God’s love can be seen by people both Christians and non-Christians.

“Let brotherly love continue.” Hebrews 13:1
“And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:32

Jesus always responded to the need of people with compassion. An humane Christian is compassionate. An humane Christian will not steal or cause harm to another person. An humane Christian does not keep grudges, he or she quickly forgives. An humane Christian keeps the assembly of the people of God in unity and does not break them. An humane Christian puts the needs of others ahead of his or her own for the sake of Christ.

May the love of Christ be found in our hearts toward people so that they can see our good work and glorify our God in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God reveal myself to me and keep me in the envelop of your love in Jesus name.
