STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
In another passage from his Sermon on the Mount,
Jesus continues to turn his disciples way of thinking
upside-down. One of the lessons for the Christian
steward in todays Gospel is that if we have a
chance to help someone in need, we should be
generous and give more than is expected of us.
Jesus went the extra mile for us. Can we be more
like Jesus and go the extra mile for others?
