In India Christians protested against church attacks,they said what have we done wrong?/Is serving the poor a crime, feeding the hungry a
crime,visiting the prisoners a crime?....We are not going to stop doing good/
Of course none of these are wrong ,in fact in so doing they are following in the footsteps of their master, Jesus, who went about doing good [Acts 10 38 ].In Galations 6 v10,we read,,/Let us do good to all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith./. So we praise our Christian family
in India for the good they are doing,they are an example to us all. So why are they suffering?,surely they should be commended for what they are doing,not persecuted. Why indeed? our Saviour who healed the sick fed the
poor was crucified, why ?.there are different reasons,but I suppose the one is to be found in His words,and His death. Consider His words,I am the way the truth and the life no one cometh unto the Father,but by Me[ John 14 v6].In other words He is saying all other religions are wrong.Acts 4 v12
tells us,/Neither is there salvation in any other name under heaven given among men,whereby we must be saved./ Consider how those of other religions may feel,they would not be to happy in fact they may be filled with hatred,and in India and in may other country ,this is so. Yes let us do
good,but let us remember,those Indian believers,and of course Jesus.
A prayer.
Dear God help us to do good,and help us also to be faithful to our Saviour
Amen.
