Teaching By Example

Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:19‭-‬20 HCSB

How are we taught? By information received, by example and how we are treated. How can we teach others? By example, by information, by being kind and treating others with respect.People respond to the kindness of others.

Today I spent some time watching the new season episodes of The Crown. In one episode the Queen was criticised in the papers, quite severely. The Queen invited the writer to the palace. One of the criticisms was that she was too remote. Although the criticism offended her she took it to heart and became more approachable.

If people do not experience kindness then they think we are hard. Why not pray for opportunities to be kind. Amen!
