Sometimes I overhear people’s conversations or notice what they say in passing. I’m not trying…

For the time is coming…

This Week’s Theme: A God Who is Unimpeachable Word for the Week is God’s Judgment : God judges the world by identifying and condemning sin and by vindicating and rewarding the righteous.

Here comes our unflinching champion!

Jesus washed the disciples feet and said it was an example to them. They were to repeat this type of behavior. He was their Master and Teacher and He was washing their feet. We are asked to esteem others better than ourselves. We who follow Jesus have been shown that our lives are secure in Him and we are, therefore, free to love anyone right now. Anyone. Even our enemy. We are asked by our Messiah to look out not only for our interests but for the interests of others. Jesus enables us to die to ourselves and to live lives beneficial for others. This would certainly be reflected in our marriages, our family relationships, our jobs, our churches, and anywhere else we might find ourselves. Jesus gives us a new commanment, we are to love each other, as His disciples, in the same way that He has loved us.
