Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-20 • Put on the whole armour of God
Joshua 24:1-2a, 14-18 • Choose whom you will serve
As followers of Christ we have chosen to follow Jesus and serve God with our whole selves. The scriptures remind us that we serve God through peaceful and loving action. The armour that Paul refers to in the letter to the Ephesians is not the typical armour one would wear to go to war. The spiritual armour that we are called to put on helps us to stand firm again injustice. When we stand firm we are willing to listen, and enter a dialogue in order to reach a non-violent resolution. Jesus came to reconcile and make new. As imitators of Christ how do we help to reconcile within the world and bring about peace for all?
