Jesus Does Nothing Unless It Is for Our Benefit

John W. Welch

Verse 24 tells us something about Jesus: "He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world." What a statement! That is an absolute statement—everything Jesus does is for the benefit of the world. If you are striving to be Christ-like, you may want to look at your life and ask, "Do I do nothing except for the benefit of the world?" That is a challenge.
