What can I do? How can I help? What do I have to offer? How can we have the greatest impact?
We can become paralyzed in indecision and unknown, but Jesus offers us wisdom in John 14:34-35 that brings practicality and simplicity to move forward.
John 13:34-35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Often times….
We can be right, but wrong in our rightness.
We can be justified, but act unjust.
We can claim His name, and misrepresent His name.
We can speak truth, but harbor hate and entertain bitterness.
But I think what Jesus intends is this…
We can be known by the same love Jesus showed.
Rooted in truth, but wrapped in grace.
Humble in action, and right in love.
Fighting for justice, and not for just us.
Claiming His name, because in it we have found life.
Welcoming in love, and building up in truth.
Let us, as the Church, be known by this.
