Ephesians 4:25 (HCSB)
25 Since you put away lying, Speak the truth, each one to his neighbor, because we are members of one another.
Observation:
Today I want to focus on this portion of our focal verse, "We are members of one another".
The members of the Body of Christ come closer to being Christ-like when we are demonstrating the loving attitudes indicated in this passage.
Ephesians 4:31-32 (HCSB)
31 All bitterness, anger and wrath, shouting and slander must be removed from you, along with all malice.
32 And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.
We who live in Louisiana have seen the kindness and compassion of so many members of the Body of Christ during our recent times of going through the fire, and the floods. We in Louisiana know why we need one another.
As my pastor said yesterday in his sermon, " God is working for us, God is working in us, and God is working though us". Are there any witnesses that God is great, and so good to His people?
Prayer:
Father, hallowed be Your name. Father, we give You the honor and the glory for all the work that You are doing through those You have sent to serve our communities during our season of destruction and distress. Father, with a grateful heart, we thank You, and we thank them. In the mighty namer of Jesus we pray, Amen.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
