Reflections For January 4

The world is divided and we are in disagreement, however, we can be united in Christ. We are called to love Jesus, and we can embrace his mindset. The early church had similar challenges, and they faced differences and divisions. There are political, social, and economic divisions in every country. Yet, Paul offered a powerful vision for unity to share love and mindset like that of Jesus. We want to remove those barriers between people. We are willing to love one another and serve like Jesus did. This is a good time to remind us what Jesus and his followers did as we are facing a lot of upheaval in the world going into a new year. We can share love. If you read the recent article in our newsletter by Elaine Johnson, you will see how this church is making a difference in our community. We are giving many different resources to help others get through the day. We are called to think like Jesus, and we are putting that in practice by helping others. We are modeling in the same way that Jesus modeled love, humility, and service to others. Jesus was human and had humility. He was an example for how we can live our lives, make a difference, and show God’s love. Thank you to Steven Karras for sharing your time as our pastor last Sunday. We can be united in Christ, and many examples were shared of how we can do that in our daily lives. Reflections from Deborah Kelly.
