Thoughts:
- The church is being observed by the world.
- Not everything that the world sees is encouraging.
- Some of the things we do shows how weak and frail we are.
- We do not have the resources to make such a dramatic impact so that the world would notice.
- But how we treat each other can be a powerful statement to the world that we are God’s people.
- Jesus wants us to shine by the way we treat each other. We must treat each other with love and respect as God’s people should.
- Our treatment is our statement.
- When we fail in this area we also fail big time in proving to the world that Jesus Christ is Lord.
- We must not underestimate the power of our relationships with each other.
- Remember this, our treatment is our statement. Since we are known as God’s people by the way we treat each other, we must treat each other with love and respect as God’s people should. Show it.
