Selwyn continues to consider the act of kindness shown to Jesus when he called out: ‘I am thirsty.’
We are told in Mark 15:36; “One man ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink.”
I think we would all agree with Selwyn when he says:Â ” … kindness and altruism will never earn anyone an entrance into heaven, but nevertheless we ought not to let an act of kindness go unrecognised or unappreciated … ”
I also like the prayer for today: “Lord Jesus Christ, when the weight of the world’s wickedness was almost too much for You to bear, I take comfort in the fact that someone did You an act of kindness. Help me to be alert to the need for kindness in all my relationships day by day. Amen.”
A spot of kindness
