Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. Romans 13:13

 Our Sunday School lesson (or life groups as we call them now) was focused on “What would Jesus do”. This famous saying originated back in the late 1800s to encourage people to think and act like Jesus. Modern culture often defines how people dress, act, speak, and what determines “success”. If you look back to the 1940s-1960s and compare how things are today, we have drifted backwards from high levels of respect for self, others, and general courtesy to our fellow man.

 Today’s passage hits some of the rough behaviors, many of you might not partake, but it accounts for what some were doing back during the time the bible was written. As a child of God, you are to reflect the behaviors of your Savior, Jesus Christ. You have the Holy Spirit living inside you, and that Spirit equips you to reflect His love, grace, mercy, and wisdom. Are you applying His resources in your every day life? If not, you are not giving God your best, and blessings will be withheld until you turn back to the way Jesus lived; a selfless, caring, loving, and righteous person.

 You don’t have to be considered old fashioned by living the way God wants for your life. You are a human being, created in His image, with specific gifts and talents to be the light of Christ in this dark world. How can you live today like Jesus?
