Memory verse: “Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart. “1 Peter1:22 {N.I.V.}
As a true believer or a born again Christian, there are many occassion that we don’t need to tell people whom we are or what our religious views are before they actually tell us. Also we strive to walk in the ways of the Lord though we fall but our God being a gracious God forgives us.
From the memory verse and the topic we can see that Love is a very important thing in our life. Many are times that Christian brothers and sister fall short of the glory of God due to little things that are mare mistakes but because we don’t accept that we are at fault or we presume we are too holy then it builds up to stand against our worship and relationship.
Phillipians 2:3 "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves".{N.I.V} Being a true believer we need not to be judge-mental about people and try to be more hospitable.
John 13:3-5 "Jesus Christ knew that, the Father had put all things under his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him".(N.I.V)
From this verse we could understand that Christ did not say oh I’m the leader they look unto me why should I wash their feet. If it were to be in the ministry today a leader might say ah sister so has something on her feet I can’t touch it or brother that has a smelly foot because many are so lost in the position they hold in the Christendom. We need to stop getting carried away in the praises of human and embark on our Christian Journey with true devout love of Christ. You cannot keep talking about your love for God if you do not Love those around you. "The second is this Love your neighbour as yourself, there is no commandment greater than these"(Mark 12:31 N.I.V.)
John13:16-17 " Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them".(N.I.V)
After the disciple queried Christ about the feet washing, His answer no one is greater than another.
So before our maker we are all equal. why not engage in true love of Christ.
Do not be stuck up in your comfort zone of prejudice allow God to move in you.
Be hospitable and humble and give love.
May God enlighten us more in Jesus name.
