1 26 20 THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
“set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.”
In the Epistle of this week the blessed St. Paul is telling us how we are to live as Christians. Our Faith is intimately tied to our actions. That is if we love our Lord Jesus, we will want to please him with all of our hearts and by what is in our hearts. And just as our Lord gave us an example to follow, we must also give others an example. We are the presence of Christ in this world. Christ wishes to save all men, therefore the way we live our lives should point out this way to all whom we meet. This way is the way of love, faith, and purity.
The way of love must exist in our families and also, as important, in our congregations. Our Lord told us clearly "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." (Joh 13:35 NKJ) This means that everything in our churches must be guided first by this principle. We should strive to make our church services beautiful. However, beauty does not base itself simply on knowing the music or perfect liturgics or our church architecture. Beauty is a reflection of our love for our Lord and therefore our love for each other. If our prayers come from this source then the music and the liturgics and the church building will be beautiful. Let us dissolve all rancor and all judgement in our congregations with love and forgiveness. Let us be patient with one another. As our churches are fragrant with incense, let us strive to fill the atmosphere that we breathe in our churches with love.
