Being Biblical is Practical


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: Being biblical is practical

(Matthew 9:1-33) Not only did Jesus feel compassion, He acted in a practical way to help the people around Him.

In verses 1-8, He healed and forgave a paralytic.
In verse 25 He brought life back into a dead child.
In verse 22, He cured a woman who had suffered for many years.
In verse 30, He gave sight to two blind men.
In verses 37-38, He pressed His disciples to labor in prayer for people who suffer and struggle.

It is important that our emotions be biblical—that we sympathize with people in need. But it is even more important that we act on their behalf.
A Christianity that is not practical, is not biblical. We can be biblical as we help sick people in our congregation, feed poor people in our community, sacrifice to send missionaries to reach lost people, pray faithfully for those in need, look for opportunities to help the helpless around us, and tell lost people about faith in Jesus Christ. Being biblical is being practically involved in lives around us.

LET US PRAY
DEAR LORD JESUS CHRIST. GIVE ME TO GIVE OTHERS. HELP ME TO HELP OTHERS. RAISE ME TO RAISE OTHERS. MAKE ME THE REASON BEHIND OTHERS SMILE IN JESUS NAME.
