Holy Week is upon us! Chara! I have been reading Romans 12 which talks about personal responsibility. The scripture says we are to be living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-this is your spiritual act of worship! Our love must be sincere. We are to hate what is evil, cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love! Wow...devoted. I looked up that word and it means loyal, faithful, committed, dedicated, constant, loving, caring. Are we constantly showing that kind of devotion to all of our brothers and sisters?
We are commanded to honor one another above ourselves. Basically...it's not about ME. As living sacrifices we do not repay anyone evil for evil. We must be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If possible, as far as it depends on YOU, we must live at peace with everyone. If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head. This is the core of Christian living! Do you have some coals that need to be heaped? Do it now! If you have experienced God's grace, pass it on to others. Remember...grace is undeserved favor! What Jesus showed us on the cross. Blessings!
