“how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the HolySpirit and with power, who went about doing good and
healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for Godwas with Him.” (Acts 10:38)
Jesus was always showed a lovely and
constant willingness to serve others, from
His childhood to the cross. He never put
His own needs first.Constant love and mercy were the
principles supporting all His actions:
“having loved His own who were in the
world, He loved them to the end.”
(John 13:1)The main principles that moved Him and
that He wants us to follow are:
1. Loving your neighbor.
2. Loving service.
3. Love your enemies.

“Therefore, whatever you want men to doto you, do also to them, for this is the Lawand the Prophets.” (Matthew 7:12)
Jesus quoted the old commandment —love your
neighbor— several times. He lived according to
that commandment.
The Jews thought only Jews (or ourfriends) are our neighbor, so Jesus told
the “Good Samaritan” story to reprove
that idea.
He taught us to love all men
and women by using the
“golden rule” (Mt. 7:12). We
must treat others as we want
to be treated.

“It is not talk, it is not profession, or claims topiety and godliness, that are of value with God,
but it is the work of righteousness that reveals a
Christlike character. To obey the law of God means
to be quick to see the necessities of our fellow beings, and quick to help them without stopping
to inquire, Do they believe the same doctrines that
I believe? To obey God’s law means to act as God’s
helping hand in relieving the necessities of
suffering humanity, no matter what the religious belief of those in need. Those who do this work,
and who are loyal to the principles of God’s truth,
are living the gospel.”
E.G.W. (The Review and Herald, April 9, 1908)

“For I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Medrink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed
Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.”
(Matthew 25:35-36)
Loving service was a main
characteristic of the ministry of Jesus.
He had compassion for the people andalways tried to lighten their burdens.
Taking care of the needs of others
must also be a main characteristic of
every believer’s life.
“Pure and undefiled religion beforeGod and the Father is this: to visitorphans and widows in their trouble,and to keep oneself unspotted from
the world.”
(James 1:27)

“He who says he abides in Him ought himselfalso to walk just as He walked.” (1 John 2:6)
We can love our enemies because God
loved us first, even though we were His
enemies (Rom. 5:10). The more we realize
and experience the Lord’s love for us, the
more His love will flow from us to others,
even to our enemies.
Our daily need is not only to accept
Christ’s death for us again but also to
surrender our will to Him and abide in
Him.
In the way Jesus Himself did not seek His
own will but the will of the Father (John
5:30), so we need to depend on Jesus and
His will. For without Him, we can do
nothing.

“As we pass through life, there come to
us many opportunities for service. Allaround us there are open doors for
ministry. By the right use of the talent
of speech, we may do much for the
Master. Words are a power for good when they are weighted with the
tenderness and sympathy of Christ.
Money, influence, tact, time, and
strength—all these are gifts entrusted tous to make us more helpful to those
around us, and more of an honor to our
Creator.” E.G.W. (This Day with God, February 29)
