Did You Know This About Jesus?
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
Acts 10:38 (NKJV)
Good Morning!
The passage above shares that God anointed, empowered, Jesus to do good and to heal. One of the definitions of doing good is to be philanthropic. A person who is philanthropic seeks to promote the general welfare of others especially by donating money to good causes. This word also means to be generous and benevolent.
Jesus was a philanthropist. He was generous and benevolent. We know that He gave to the poor often because of a passage in the Gospel of John. John 13:29 (NLT) says, “Since Judas was their treasurer, some thought Jesus was telling him to go and pay for the food or to give some money to the poor.”
Why would the disciples think that Judas might be going to give to the poor? Only because Jesus did that regularly. Jesus still is a philanthropist and He wants to be good and generous to others through you. I share more about this topic in today’s podcast devotional. You can stream it on YouTube, Apple Podcast, or Spotify.
Pray this prayer with me, “Father, I thank you for loving me and for being with me. I make myself available for you to be good to others through me. Thank you for being so good to me! In Jesus’ name, amen.”
