Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
This highlights the importance of doing good works on behalf of those who are in need. Widows, more than any other group of people, needed some serious help. Women, when their husbands died, were seen as useless. No one would marry them, and no one would take them in. They were in need. And so the Apostles did what they were told to do by Jesus, care for all those who are need, in this case, the widows. As part of the Growing in Ministry process we will be looking at things we can do to grow in ministry, and that begins with carrying out the most important commandment from Jesus: love your neighbor as yourself. In other words to care for those in need. Let us follow the example of the Apostles and the commandment of our Lord Jesus Christ in caring for those who are in need. God bless you.
