Too Close to IgnoreSample

Would you like to stay here tonight?

Kindness to a stranger, even a familiar stranger, goes beyond helping a friend. These men knew that it was dangerous for a traveler to be alone on the road at night, so they offered him a place to stay. They were immediately blessed when they realized that it was Jesus, whom they thought had been killed (vv 31).

You may have stopped alongside the road to help a motorist who needed some assistance, or offered to help carry grocery bags to a personﾒs car for them. These acts of kindness are valuable as they help bolster your confidence to even greater acts.

Some things to ponder:

1. What is the greatest act of kindness you can think of?

2. How can you prepare yourself to carry it out an act of kindness when the opportunity arises?
