Epistle Reflection

In everything we do,
in our troubles, difficulties and hardships
we show we are God’s servants.

New Testament Reading - Light in the Lord

thumb

6Don’t be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the terrible wrath of God is upon all those who do them. 7Don’t even associate with such people. 8For though once your heart was full of darkness, now it is full of light from the Lord, and your behavior should show it! 9Because of this light within you, you should do only what is good and right and true.

10Learn as you go along what pleases the Lord.a 11Take no part in the worthless pleasures of evil and darkness, but instead, rebuke and expose them. 12It would be shameful even to mention here those pleasures of darkness that the ungodly do. 13But when you expose them, the light shines in upon their sin and shows it up, and when they see how wrong they really are, some of them may even become children of light! 14That is why God says in the Scriptures, “Awake, O sleeper, and rise up from the dead; and Christ shall give you light.”

. . . . . Ephesians 5:6-14
  1. Or “Your lives should be an example.”
