From today’s reading...
There is no comparison between the free gift and the offence. If death came to many through the offence of one man, how much greater an effect the grace of God has had, coming to so many and so plentifully as a free gift through the one man Jesus Christ!” Romans 5:15
The power of one man’s actions to do harm or to do good cannot be overstated.
“But Wes, that was Jesus, the Son of God. You don’t expect me to be good like Him, do you?”
Yes.
By this statement, I can see you do not understand the teaching that while Jesus was and is the Son of God, He was also fully human.
As such, I at least expect you to try to be like Him.
Put forth a valiant effort today to do the right thing, tell the truth, help a friend, help a stranger, pray, put your heart into your work, walk away from gossip, don’t engage with trolls online, smile more, love more.
In other words, be more like Jesus today, which is the only way to...
Stay the course.
Keep the faith.
Endure.
Now go sell something.
