In anticipation of celebrating the Lord’s Supper on Sunday, I am sharing this devotional I used with the church council last week. While on the surface it appears this is focused exclusively upon those in leadership I encourage you to use it mindful of the fact that every disciple is to mirror in their lives who Christ is and to that end, we are all in positions of “leadership”–for good or for ill.
The first part of the devotional puts in squarely in the Word of God–one text from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament. But I encourage you not to stop short of the third page, “Holiness Health Check”. The real work of application is there. If you feel uncomfortable, than the Word of God is doing it’s job because when we stop and try to grasp the degree of holiness we are model, it is overwhelming. But you should also see clearly the hope we can embrace in the fact that God is the one who “qualifies” us to serve Him.
Enjoy…and please, feel free to post comments. They are welcomed! And consider using this as we prepare to celebrate the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper next Sunday.
