DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  ROMANS 15:2-4

(2)  Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
(3)  For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written,  The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
(4)  For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning,  that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

LET ME HELP YOU!

(2)  Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.  Brethren, as believers and followers of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior;  it is our duties and obligations to help those who are weaken in faith, and backsliding because of moral weaknesses, and not turn our backs on them or rejoice at their failures; therefore, (i)  let us encourage one another in the faith, think of ourselves as brothers and sisters who belongs to one heavenly Father;  and though we differ by ethnicity, we have same blood running through our veins and by the same blood Jesus paid for all our iniquities on the cross of Calvary;  therefore, (ii)  let us offer assistance to those who are need with prayers, food, clothing and shelters; for it is good to morally or spiritually use our blessings to improve and uplift other people lives; for, no one knows exactly when we ourselves will be in positions whereby we may need to depend on others; for, it is written, "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise." (Luke 6:31).

(3)  For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written,  The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.  Brethren, let us do all things kindheartedly, pleasing others and not ourselves; for, Jesus Christ pleased not himself, but others;  (i)  on the mount of olives, he set the adulterous woman free from condemnation: (John 8:11); so he can bear her condemnation on the cross of Calvary;  therefore, (ii)  our shame and dishonor came upon Jesus Christ, he was spoken of abusively before evil men, suffered for sins he did not commit, crucified on the cross to redeem humanity from all iniquities but he took all our disgrace and condemnations and did not fight back, to release himself from taking our reproaches; it is written, "Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously; (1 Peter 2:23); therefore, as believers redeemed by the blood of Jesus; let us emulate him, as he did good deeds on our behalves, we ought to show the same kindness to others; and stand up for the truth of his words, let us comfort ourselves together as one body of Christ, uplift one another emotionally or spiritually, with the love of our heavenly Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior forevermore.

(4)  For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning,  that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.  Brethren, all things written in the scriptures, from the past was given by our heavenly Father through revelations and dictates of the Holy Spirit; and written down by prophets and holy men of our heavenly Father, to teach us to walk in righteousness, so that through the wisdom, knowledge and understanding, the ability and strength taught in his words, we may continue to provide encouragements and perseverance to humanity in faith, through his righteousness, that we may have hope of his second coming and life everlasting;  therefore, we are to read the scriptures everyday, for his words are spirited to lighten our pathways in this world full of darkness, to strengthen our faith in our heavenly Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior forevermore.

CONCLUSION:

Dearly beloved, it is for our own benefits to do good at all times; whether to our friends or enemies, we have to love and do good to them equally;  therefore, let us give to those who are in need and not expect returns, and embrace our enemies and do them good;  by doing so, our rewards will be greater in heaven and on earth and we will be true children of our heavenly Father; because, he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked the same; consequently, let us be merciful, just as our heavenly Father is merciful; Jesus Christ took away all our reproaches upon him on the cross; there is now no more condemnation to them which are in him, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit; therefore, let us now approach our heavenly Father's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive his goodness and mercies and find grace to our needs forever and evermore.  Amen and Amen!
