dW 10.22.07

scripture

 

1 Peter 2:1-5

Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him— you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

 

thought

 

Driving from school to work today I saw a bumper sticker that read “Jesus Save Me” then beneath it read “from your followers”. Simply calling ourselves Christian and living contrary to it is ruining the gospel. If we have truly encountered Christ then we cannot remain the same. If we are to be Christ-like then we must be like Christ.
