Greetings Bible Enthusiast!
When we do a favor for someone, even if it is a really big
favor, should we expect some return? One reader wrote to say
that some time ago they had helped a friend start a business,
then later they were able to start another business of their
own.
When they asked their friend to put a flier up in the window
of his business to advertise their own, their friend refused
because, due to the nature of their business, he was concerned
about objections his Christian customers might have.
Jesus said when we do a charitable deed, we should not let
our left hand know what our right hand is doing. (Matthew 6:3)
In other words, expect no return, and harbor no hard feelings.
God will give the return, if it is in His will.
God Bless You!

–DAILY BIBLE VERSE:
“Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow
from you do not turn away. You have heard that it was said,
‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse
you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who
spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons
of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the
evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the
unjust.
Matthew 5:42-45
Obeying these commands of Jesus does not mean throwing away
discernment and judgment but, as always, we are to pray
about each individual situation and ask for the guidance
and help of the Holy Spirit.

–FEATURED FUNNY:
At a theological seminar in Kentucky, students entering the
room for lunch were greeted by a sign which read: “Take only
one apple, God is watching you.”
At the other end of the table was a large tray of chocolate
cookies with a hastily scribbled sign which read: “Take as
many as you want – God is back there watching the apples.”

–ANSWER TO TRIVIA QUESTION:
Q. How did Jesus say we can attain perfection?
A. by loving your enemies
“For I say to you, love your enemies… For if you love
those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the
tax collectors do the same?
And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more
than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? There-
fore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven
is perfect.”
Matthew 5:46-48
Jesus had just been talking about loving our enemies and
blessing those who curse us (see Bible verse above);
here is telling us that loving and blessing those who
love and bless us is easy, for even the tax collectors
do that.
What directs us on to moral perfection is loving and
blessing those who hate and curse us, and to pray for
them. After all, that is what Jesus did, even to the
point of laying down His life for those who hated and
cursed Him, making Him the perfect sacrifice.
