GROWING IN CHRIST
Proverbs 27:17
Iron sharpens iron,
And a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
Encouraging Words
Our early church fathers taught that our salvation is worked out in our Christian communities We need one another in order to grow in our sanctification. This proverb reminds us that in our community we sharpen each other so that we can be better instruments for God's use. Sometimes this sharpening is painful. Sometimes it is delightful. As we yield more to those in our lives that are there to sharpen us, the closer we come to being like Christ. Glory be to God!
