Like Jesus ~~ Comme Jésus

Friday 22nd December

2 Thessalonians 3       Psalm 124        Zephaniah 3.1-13    Matthew 18.1-20
2 Thessaloniciens 3    Psaumes 124    Sophonie 3.1-13       Matthieu 18.1-20


God is worthy to be honoured. Jesus is worthy to be followed. The life Jesus lived should be the most important thing for us to strive after. We should never tire of it. When Paul urges the Thessalonians to ‘never tire of doing good,’ he gives some very practical examples on keeping our lives useful and honourable to the Lord. It is easy to waste our hours away, online, on useless scrolling or worrying about things going in our lives; it is easy to spend a week without thinking about Jesus. But that does not mean we should. Every minute is precious, and every minute can be used to honour our Living Saviour in one way or another. 

As Christians, we are called to live like Jesus. Jesus was without sin; we are sinful – this is no easy task. But it is not impossible, because we do everything with God at our side. He is there to give us confidence; He is always there to strengthen us; to comfort us. He is faithful, even if we lose faith in Him. Whenever we mess up, He is always ready to give us a new chance. We have God on our side. Let us never stop striving to live like He lived. Let us never tire of doing good!
