“Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord.”Hebrews 12:14 NLT
When I see the words ‘work at’ I have to resist the urge to sink into works of the flesh. So, how do I work at living in harmony? How do I make myself holy? I need to read the whole chapter. It tells me the way:
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.”Hebrews 12:1-2, NLT
Keeping my eyes on Jesus fills me with His love for others, gives grace to administer to others. Jesus told us: ‘I am the way, the truth and the life’. He has this.
Today is Sunday, I will be with many others. Time to give myself to corporate worship and the love of others.
