The Everyday Sabbath

Christ's Acceptance, Our Unity.

Published about 2 hours ago • 1 min read

Romans 15:5–7

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.

Group projects can be frustrating. Differing opinions, ideas, and voices all push against each other. But the best groups thrive when all come together.

The body of Christ — the Church — is filled with many different people, but that doesn't mean we should be photocopies. Instead, God calls us to accept and celebrate our differences... and rejoice in the unity that matters:

A shared faith in Christ Jesus.

​

What differences do you find hardest to accept in the family of believers? What did you bring to the table when Christ accepted you?

He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears; but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth.

Psalm 130:1–4 Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;Lord, hear my voice. — Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. If you, Lord, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?

Sin has made you helpless in it's trap. All you can do as cry out for help. A rope lowers down. A hand reaches down to pull you out....
