Advent Lessons and Lunch

Do Good

Reuben Job says that for John Wesley, doing good was “simply following Jesus and it was the only way to walk in faithfulness with Jesus.” He also says that, “This way of living will require a careful and continual assessment of our lives and the world in which we live.” Here are your questions for reflection from Reuben Job’s Three Simple Rules:

Can you remember an instance when someone did good in your presence today? What was your response? How did it feel?

List the opportunities to do good that came your way today. How did you respond? How did it feel to do good?
