A
Bible verse for today:
“Try
to live in peace with everyone and seek to live a clean and holy life, for
those who are not holy will not see the Lord.”
Hebrews 12:14
At such a time as this, how shall we react to
the chaos around us?
This
command starts out so gentle – and so it was that the Lord Jesus was meek and
lowly – not proud and forceful.
Then
the call of God is to repent of sin and godless ways – and so it was that the
holy life of the Lord Jesus and His care for others became the ridicule of the
servants of satan.
Finally,
the truth of eternity is applied – the unholy will be forever separated from
God – His love, His favour, His illumination. And so it was when the Lord Jesus
opened His mouth, words of grace flowed to those seeking the LORD, but also
words of truth that caused unbelievers to know clearly that hell was for real.
Lord
God Almighty, keep me focused on HIM, to be like HIM in purity, love and truth
speaking.
