The greatest thing we can do in our walk of faith is to serve our awesome, wonderful, and amazing Father!! This passage reminds us of our commitment to serving him and therefore showing others (believers and unbelievers alike) the love that we have been given by our Father. This passage echoes Jesus’ commands to us in Mark 12:28-31. We should all learn from this that in life no matter what gets us down we ought to do as we have been commanded. This is indeed the way we ought to live. One of the most powerful lessons to be learned is that hate begets hate and love begets the whole world. We should aim in everyday to heed to what our Lord and Savior Jesus has told us and also, we should appreciate the gentle reminder from Peter to do so. Service may be helping our neighbor cut his lawn or it could be baking cookies and dropping them off to our neighbors with bible verses attached to them. Service may also be a person on the front lines in the mission field. Service is one of those things that can be both something big or small. So why don’t we take a challenge today.
ARE YOU READY?
Challenge:
Find a moment of opportunity to do something for either a neighbor or a friend. It could be something as big as paying off their car or house, or it could be something as small as offering to feed them dinner. Both examples I gave to aid you in this challenge but the whole goal is to share the word of our Father with them and tell them the Gospel Story.
WE CAN DO THIS!!
