Gospel Lesson

Luke 9:1-17

We see that part of the mission that the Apostles has was simply that of doing good. Wherever they went, they did good. There is something to that. Part of the Christian life is simply the notion of doing good. Wesley put it like this, that we should do all the good we can, where ever we can, as long as we can.

Today, do we do good? In our lives, in our work, in our family, in our actions, in our words, in all that we are, do we do good? Do we try to help? Do we love? Do we forgive? Do we encourage? Do we shine forth the light of Jesus Christ?

If we are not doing these things, then, what are we doing? If we are not making a difference for Jesus, then what is our purpose? We were not put here to just breathe God's air. We were put here for something? Today, are you doing all the good you can?
