Dr. Luke writes in the book of Acts, Chapter 10, verse 38: "how God annointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. "
I was thinking about the choice of words Dr. Luke used to describe what Jesus did..."he went about doing good." So simple. He went about doing good. He fed the hungry. He healed the lame. He opened blind eyes. He cleansed the leper. He went about doing good. He saved a brides special day when they ran out of wine at the reception. He held children on his lap. He washed his disciples feet. He went about doing good. He cleaned the temple. He cast out demons. He raised the dead. He went about doing good. He healed Peters mother-in-law so she could cook dinner. He had tea with a tax collector. He told his disciples where to catch the most fish. He went about doing good. He calmed the storm. He taught about life sitting on the side of the mountion. He let the undesirables touch his clothes. He went about doing good.
He was whipped with lashes. He wore a crown of thorns on his head. He was beaten. He was spit on. He was nailed to a cross. He was given vinegar to drink. And He went about doing good. He prayed Father forgive them they know not what they do. He went about doing good.
He said to the thief hanging beside him. This day you shall be with me in Paradise. He went about doing good. He died. He went about doing good. He defeated death, hell, and the grave. He arose. He went about doing good. He lives today, and he still goes about doing good.
Oh if I can only be like Jesus....to go about doing good.
