Thought For The Day

In the mind of the average believers examples of good works will include such things as raising the dead, healing the sick, giving alms to those without, visiting the widows and orphans at the time and place of need, giving towards the propagation of the gospel and many such acts.

While these acts will pass as good works, the above list is definitely not exhaustive. There are many other acts which, according to my Bible are good works too.

In Matt 5:16, Jesus said

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven**.

There are works done before men which without a doubt will cause men to give glory to God. Light reveals, unveils and in this case, it points people to God. Our Light acts as a 'neon sign' pointing straight to God and not to men. These are acts that defy human logic, acts that go against the natural disposition of a responsible person.

In Matt 5:44, Jesus added,

But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Such uncommon and unpopular acts point men to God. Going out of you way to do significant good to those who hate you, to go down on one's knees to pray sincerely for those who despitefully use us, will go a long way in changing men's hearts for Jesus. These are acts that also point men to God.
