Romans 14-16 Service to others

Paul is winding down his treatise to Rome regarding the inclusion of the Gentiles. He supported those who were not of the circumcised but believed by faith.Paul is teaching us a principle: whether Jew or Gentile, if one is weak, we are to support them in any way that will bring glory to God. Is there a neighbor or a church member who is weak in their walk or talk or ideas they have? Who are you to judge them? Instead, you are to meet their needs like Jesus would. 

Jesus responded in another place that He honored those who fed him or helped them with their belief. When they asked when did we see you hungry or thirsty, He responded as you have done it for the least of these, you have done it for Me. 

Christmas is a time to not be a Scrooge but be a Barnabas who sold his land and gave the proceeds to the church. Who is in your sphere of influence that you can minister to in some practical way?
