TWO ARE BETTER

“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.  For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.”

Ecclesiastes 4:9,10 KJV

Someone said “I don’t need anything or anyone”.  I submit to you on the authority of the Word of God that the person who said that is not being truthful.  Two are better than one.  We need each other.  I have a pinball game that I play on my computer to keep my fingers from getting stiff because of my arthritis.

There are three balls to a game and if I don’t get a high score on the first ball, I quit playing.  If I would play all three balls I would get a higher score and my fingers wouldn’t hurt as much.  It is the same with needing one another.  If we fall and are unable to get back up we need to let someone help us get back up.

Jesus hasn’t been here for over two thousand years.  We need to hug one another for Him.  We may not be comfortable hugging people physically but we can hug one another with our words and with our actions.  It is not enough to tell them Jesus loves them.  We need to prove it to them by our actions.

We must always remember that Jesus said when we are kind and loving to one another, we are being kind and loving to Him (Matthew 25:40).  Have we been kind and loving to Jesus today?  Does Jesus know we love Him by the things we do and the words we say?  May God forgive us if we are hurting Jesus.
