Do you enjoy reading the biographies of famous people? Do you like to note the good qualities of lives worthy of imitation? Have you ever thought about what could someday be written in the biography of your own life?
What may be described as the best and shortest biography of the life of Jesus was given by Peter as he was talking to a centurion named Cornelius and his family where we read. . .
β(37) you yourselves know what happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed: (38) how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.β (Acts 10:37-38 ESV)
All the interactions and merciful acts committed by Jesus as He walked this earth can be summed up in βHe went about doing good.β Doing good is an honorable and notable quality. Walking in the steps of Jesus ought to mean we too are going about doing good. As Jesus glorified the Father in so doing, may it also continue being so with us!
Have a great day FILLED WITH GOOD DEEDS!
