MEDITATION:
Today’s reflection is from the April, 2021 edition of Tabletalk magazine.
Jesus tells us in John 8:36 that “if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” These words have been treasured for generations as the gospel’s proclamation of liberty not only from sin but from the unlawful demands that the consciences of other people may place on us. In first century Corinth, the believers enthusiastically embraced their freedom in Christ. However, their understanding of Christian liberty was inadequate. They flaunted their freedom in such a way that they ended up harming other believers. The solution to the Corinthians’ problem was to combine their freedom with Christian love. Nothing that believers do should be done apart from love, and as the Apostle Paul shows us, mature believers must take care in exercising their liberty so that the church as a whole is built up in faith and love.
PRAYER:
Written by Stella Dhinakaran, a contemporary author and woman of prayer.
Our loving heavenly Father, we look unto you, for you alone have the power to deliver us in the times of trouble. You are a great God who delivered your servants as you promised them. Master, I am a broken vessel, I commit my life into Your hands, mold me and strengthen me to overcome this world. In Jesus name, Amen.
