Love for One AnotherGreat Love Among Believers Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) Loving by ServingJohn 13:21-22 New International Version21 After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified, “Very truly, I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.” 22 His disciples stared at one another, at a loss to know which of them he meant. 23 One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him. 24 Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, “Ask him which one he means.” For ReflectionFor the most part, we are a prosperous people. And yet, with all our massive resources, there are those who live marginalized lives in inescapable social and economic poverty, lacking the resources to survive. We, who live in comfort, ignore the discomfort of our neighbors. Our collective wealth makes us blind. Our unwillingness to see our implicit culpability denies Christ. We are indeed hypocrites who profess to believe the Scriptures but will not govern ourselves by them.
Pray Pray and discover the log in your eye. Pray and discover your culpability in the suffering of others. Pray and recognize how your tacit behaviors betray your faith. Forward to a friend
