KindnessTo show kindness is to act in a loyal, loving way to a person even if they don’t deserve it.

ACTS of Kindness: What is the kindest thing anyone can do for someone?

God’s Kindness44"But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46"For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?… (Mathew 5:44 -46)

Ephesians 2:4-7:Because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ, even when we were dead in transgressions – it is by grace that you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Jesus Christ in order that in the coming ages, he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

God’s take on kindness is radical:God put on Kindness for our sake:• God sent Jesus to demonstrate how deeply He

loves His enemies• Jesus put off His heavenly robes • Jesus put on the flesh of human beings• Jesus put on our filthy rags of sin, death,

sickness• Jesus was executed in our place • After that He was raised up and put on His

heavenly robes

Come experience the Kindness of God in your life! We can’t show radical kindness if we haven’t experienced radical kindness in Jesus’s love for us.
