When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe the labor that is done on earth—people getting no sleep day or night— then I saw all that God has done. No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all their efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning. Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really comprehend it. Ecclesiastes 8:16-17 (NIV)
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:1-2 (NIV)
When we love our neighbour by meeting their needs, we shine a light on ourselves. When we love our neighbour by meeting their needs in Jesus’ name, we shine the light on Jesus.
“Truly I tell you, anyone who gives you a cup of water IN MY NAME [Jesus] because you belong to the Messiah will certainly not lose their reward.” Mark 9:41 (NIV)
