Together Christians working together for good

Morning: Psalm 102; Jeremiah 20:7-11; I Corinthians 10:14-17; 11:27-32
Evening: Psalms 142, 143; John 17:1-11
When you try to serve the truth, others watch to see if you’re for real.  You protect the truth by living well.  Christ suffers again when believers behave badly. People stop trusting him because Christians are untrustworthy. Those who break the bread and drink the wine of Jesus’ new covenant must embody the new reality it stands for. Jesus prayed for us to get our act together, and to join in common cause for the sake of others, not for ourselves. Together Christians, working together for good … That would be glorious.  That would enhance God’s reputation in the world!
