Good Day Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
One of the characterizations of Christian brothers and sisters is the fellowship they have with one another. A part of fellowship is encouragement, and a part of encouragement is sharing with one another. The Bible recounts a number of different things Christians shared such as possessions, food, lodging, God’s Word, and other blessings, and they gladly shared with each other as they did so in service for the Lord. Christians were taught and had full realization that all of their possessions belonged to the Lord; therefore, they looked upon them lightly, ready to share with fellow Christians whenever and wherever there was a need. An example is if they had two tunics or coats, they were ready to give one to a needy Christian as they could only wear one at a time. What a difference in today’s world. Often we are willing to give to a clothes closet or to needy Christians a piece of clothing only if it is well worn. Could there possibly be less needy Christians if we would be willing to follow the example of New Testament Christians by sharing a portion of our clothing that God has so generously provided for us?
Take time today to provide some nice, clean clothing to a church clothes closet!
“He answereth and saith unto them, ‘He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.’” (Luke 3:11)
