Do Good To All

Posted by Surrey District Conference of Moravian Churches, Jamaica on

Act with justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor anyone who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the alien, the orphan, and the widow. Jeremiah 22:3This was an alternative approach to governance and to draw down on the grace of God; it was a choice between a philosophy of governance and making responsible choices which honour God and have the national life and leadership reestablished versus disobeying divine commands and end up with national and personal ruin. Such choices still obtain to day. God is calling on the nations to practice justice and righteousness, emancipate and liberate the oppressed and bring an end to violence especially to aliens, the orphans and widows. And surely God is not asleep and He remains the same throughout the generations.

Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. Hebrews 13:2The Church must become a spectacle of Christ to the world. As Christ has lived, so must we. As the writer to the Hebrews wrote the conclusion to his epistle he gave certain charges to the readers, including an emphasis on how necessary it is to show hospitality. Because unknown to you, the persons who appear before you could be sent by God. To treat them [poor, understand the mysteries of the Kingdom of God] less than God expects of us would be a dishonour to God. Here again we learn that God visits us in the various human conditions and gives us an opportunity to demonstrate our spirituality. Do what is good to all as to the Lord..

Blessings !!!

Bishop Clarke.
