Sunday Reflection (April 30, 2023)
How do we live in a society full of hatred, jealousy, wranglings, quarreling, and malice? 1 Peter (1:11-25) mentions living honorably and honestly, doing good, and not using freedom as a pretext for doing evil. God’s grace is a gift received! May we respond accordingly by not returning evil for evil. Christians are not slaves to evil: We are slaves to the good. We are bound and connected to God and others. May we live honorably and fairly with love and compassion, realizing that we may suffer for choosing to do the right thing.
