DAILY BIBLE READING
Be Caring And Hospitable
Matt. 25:31-46
Although this passage relates to the judgment of the nations which Jesus will do when He comes back in His glory as king and judge, yet it should be an eye opener for believers on some of the good works they need to add to their faith. At this judgment, Jesus will declare some nations as caring and generous because of the assistance they have rendered to Israel and to all who belong to Him and declare others wicked who would be punished. If this is so, then believers should take a cue from this and do everything possible to be caring, generous, hospitable and accommodating, not only to the household of faith but to all people who need their assistance. Who knows, the good work you do today, may rescue you from destruction tomorrow.
Point of Emphasis: Always distribute to the needs of the saints and be given to hospitality.
Prayer Point: Lord, help me to always care for and assist other people in need.

SOIS BIENVEILLANT ET HOSPITALIER
MATTHIEU 25 :31-46
Quoique ce message ait trait au jugement des nations que Jésus fera quand il sera de retour dans sa gloire comme roi et juge, force est de reconnaître qu’il sera un signe révélateur pour les croyants pour les quelques bonnes œuvres qu’ils ont à joindre à leur foi. Pendant ce jugement, Jésus déclarera d’autres nations comme étant bienveillantes et généreuses du fait de l’assistance qu’ils auraient rendue à Israël et à tous ceux qui lui appartiennent et traitera d’autres de méchantes qui seront punies. Si c’est ainsi, les croyants doivent apprendre de cela et faire tout leur possible pour être bienveillants, généreux, hospitaliers et accommodants, non pas seulement envers les frères en la foi mais à tous les gens qui ont besoin de leur assistance. Qui sait si le bon travail que tu fais aujourd’hui pourrait te sauver de destruction demain.
Point essentiel : Pourvois toujours aux besoins des saints et adonne-toi à l’hospitalité.
Axe de prière : Seigneur, aide-moi à prendre toujours soin et à aider d’autres personnes qui seraient dans le besoin.
