Show Me a Sign!

We’re a sign. We say something or point to something. We do this as an individual, and as a group. We are a group of people who wear the name of Jesus. Through the eyes of Jesus, we can see the work which God has already done in the people we meet.  And we decide to see the good work of Christ in them even as we walk beside them encouraging them to move ahead in their walk with Jesus.  The ability to spur each other forward with Jesus comes in the context of our relationship with each other. Our ability to love people into the walk with Jesus, and together in our walk with Jesus, is a sign. It’s a sign pointing people to Emmanuel, God with us, for us, in us. Everyone is looking for a sign from above. May we be a sign pointing to Jesus.

1 Corinthians 1:1-9 Is the inspiration for this blog post…Apostle Paul affirms the work of Christ in a group of Christians who had come along way, but had a long way to go, especially in the love of each other, shown in unity. He expected them to have long-suffering grace, combined with accountability.
