SETTING THE EXAMPLE
Judith 8:24-25
Now my brothers, let us set an example for our people, for their very lives depend upon us. Furthermore, the sanctuary, the temple, and the altar rest upon us. Besides all this, let us be thankful to the Lord our God, who is testing us just as He did our fathers.
Personal Challenge
One of the problems with modern Christianity is how much we have made it out to be an individual thing. It is not! Christianity started out as a community focused faith practice. We need each other to work out our salvation. We need each other to process and walk through our sins and the healing of forgiveness. We need each other to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and the love of God. In this life of the community, we then need to live our lives knowing that we will be examples that others will follow. The question that I must ask myself is whether or not the life that I am living is worthy enough to be followed by another. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
