Helping
“And, behold, a woman of Canaan came … and worshipped Him, saying, Lord, help me”
(Matthew 15:22, 25).
“And one of the multitude answered and said … If Thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us” (Mark 9:22).
Would you like to be more like the Lord Jesus? I’m sure you answered, “Yes!” Remember that when He was here He always helped those in need, and showed kindness wherever He went. You can do the same. Simply by helping others you can be like Christ. Don’t be like the priest and the Levite in the story of the Good Samaritan. When they saw the man lying half dead in the ditch they “passed by on the other side” (Luke 10:31-32). In contrast, the Samaritan (a picture of the Lord Jesus), “came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him” (Luke 10:33-34). We read of Apollos, “who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace” (Acts 18:27).
