A Salty Peace
"Salt is good. But if the salt loses its salty taste, then
you can't make it salty again. So, be full of goodness. And
have peace with each other."
-- Mark 9:50 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus wants us to be people of character -- people who are holy,
righteous, pure and redemptive in a world that is none of those things.
Jesus wants us to live in peace with each other in our local
congregations as well as with other believers even if we do not
recognize them as being in "our group." Two clear commands -- to be at
peace and to have a godly influence on those around us -- are made
without equivocation. Obedience to these two important commands is
needed so very much in the divided and worldly state in which believers
in Jesus now find themselves.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Holy Father, please help me exemplify the desires Jesus has for me -- I
want to be holy and redemptive as I live before my neighbors and I want
to be at peace with those who share faith in Jesus as Lord. In Jesus'
name I ask for your help in being fully obedient to you in these
matters. Amen.
