Wednesday, September 11, 2019 -No Matter What

In John 15, Jesus tells His disciples how important it is to love each other. He teaches them there is no greater love than giving your life for others. They did not understand the depth of the love He taught about on that day, but later would see it lived out when He gave His life for them and the rest of the world. Our nature is to do the opposite of what Jesus calls us to do. The Spirit leads and guides believers and it is always in opposition to what the flesh desires. Following Christ will never make sense to the world, but will always impact it. Praying for those who are against you, forgiving others when they do not care and loving the unlovable are all things Christ did as an example for us. When we follow Jesus and love others to the point of death, the mark of the Spirit is on us in such a way, no amount of darkness can extinguish His light.    Matthew 5:38-48 Kenny Nix, Pastor
