Today's Devotion
When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?
REFLECTIONS:
Some of us get discouraged by other brethren as a result of the inconsistency witnessed in their lives. It really hurts when someone admired so much is found doing something wrong or bad in secret.
When negative behavior is called for, it should be done for the purpose of trying to understand and teach those in error and should be done out of love.
Let us set better examples, confess wrong when it occurs, and let our fellow Christians realize that we are all going through the process of transformation.
*Let us act in line with the truth of the gospel so that we may be righteous. Proverbs tell us... The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble.
Blessed Thursday.
