Though many times the premise of Christ creates a whirlwind of division and strife between family members and others even between husband and wife. However Jesus is the Prince of Peace when it comes to the relationship between God and man. He is our only advocate our go-between.
For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus. 1Tim. 2:5The good news is that when we are reconciled to God we begin to walk in His grace and have the Spirit of Him to guide us into patience and self control and the like, so that we can begin to become Christlike and live an irrestistable life to those around us. At least that is the game plan. Unfortunately there are many jerks for Jesus who are hell bent on judging others and cannot figure out how Jesus spent his time with notorious sinners and yet remained attractive to them. Likewise we need to learn to attract people toward our abundant life while not demanding that they "clean up their act" before we are willing to befriend them. But to exude all of the fruit of the Spirit in such a way that they would desire that for themselves.
APPLICATION
To remember that Christ Jesus came into this world to save it and not to condemn it. I want to be like Him.
