May the mumbling commence!
Remember to whom you belong. It is an important task for all Christians – everyone who follows in the Way of Christ. Read from First Thessalonians chapter three (NLT):
May God himself, our Father, and our Lord Jesus make it possible for us to come to you very soon. And may the Lord make your love grow and overflow to each other and to everyone else, just as our love overflows toward you. As a result, Christ will make your hearts strong, blameless, and holy when you stand before God our Father on that day when our Lord Jesus comes with all those who belong to him. (Verses 11-13)
We belong to Christ. Jesus has bought us with a precious price. We are his.
But Christ calls us into relationship. We also belong to one another. Let us seek one another out for fellowship in the everyday course of our lives – both in the mundane and the extraordinary, both in the happiest of times and the gloomiest of times. We need one another for our love to grow and overflow.
We belong first to Christ and then to one another. When we remember these two things and act on them, Christ will make our hearts strong and blameless and holy. Together we will stand well before our Lord.
Enough mumbling for now…
Peace Out
