Kindness – Virtue In Action

Randy Koon

May 3, 2026

We are commanded by God in His Word to be kind to one another - not just to our brothers and sisters in Christ, but to all people. Kindness is one aspect of God's own nature, so we who are created in God's image also bear this characteristic of kindness as a gift of His Spirit dwelling within our hearts. Let us therefore exhibit this aspect of our character in Christ through acts of kindness among those around us who as Jesus said, will see our good works and glorify our Father in Heaven.

Hope Fulfilled

As Jesus entered Jerusalem for the last time riding on a donkey, the crowd awaiting His arrival called for Him to save them, shouting Hosanna. Almost every one of them recognized that Jesus' arrival fulfilled the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9 about a coming King who would come riding on a donkey to bring them salvation. But the hope that Jesus came to fulfill wasn't political salvation for Israel from the oppression of their Roman occupiers as most of His greeters expected, but spiritual salvation for all mankind out of death in our sins and into eternal life in the glory of God's presence.

Hope Anchored

All of us encounter difficulties in life. Some suddenly severely impact the course of our lives and may even shake the foundation of our faith. Sometimes the hits just keep coming one after another and wear our faith down slowly until we simply give up. But God gives us many promises in His Word to secure our faith and strongly anchor our hope. Speaking of the divine hope we have through faith in Jesus' Gospel, the writer of Hebrews succinctly affirms the surety of God's promises - "We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf..." (Hebrews 6:19-20a [ESV]).
