Theme: Actively doing good toward others. 1 Cor.
13:4
!
Introduction
#.
If patience (as used in this text) is the ability to passively endure the wrong someone has done against you, then kindness is the ability to actively seek goodness toward others.
#.
While we know what kindness is and how to be kind toward others, we’re far from perfect in displaying this through the context of love.
* Think about it, sometimes we do kind acts begrudgingly; guilt; favor; obligation.
* Further, we may limit who receives our “kindness”
!
Kindness – Doing Good to Another
#.
It is easy showing kindness to those whom you love (or those who are kind to you).
#.
How easy is it to show kindness to those who hate you?
* Would you show kindness to someone wanting to sue you; hurt you; abuse your liberty; or take advantage of your personal property?
Matt.
5:38-42
* It would certainly be easier to retaliate and feel justified.
1 Cor.
6:1ff
#.
Wasn’t that Paul’s response to all the divisions within the church at Corinth? 1 Cor.

What Kindness looks Like: Loving Your Neighbor
#.
A neighbor doesn’t necessarily look like someone who is “religious”.
#.
A neighbor doesn’t necessarily look like a person with a perceived upstanding reputation.
#.
No, a neighbor looks just like an ordinary man extending kindness under extra-ordinary circumstances.
Lk. 10:25-37
#.
SUMMARY: A neighbor is someone who practices “true and undefiled religion.”
Jas.
1:27
!
Conclusion
#.
Love is perfected not only be enduring the wrongs against you, but also extending kindness in typically unlikely situations.
#.
May God bless us to open our hearts and arms to all, including strangers and enemies by showing them the perfection of love through our kindness.
