A Legacy of Acceptance

Bible in a Year:

• Genesis 43–45
• Matthew 12:24–50

Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.

Romans 15:7 In his book Breaking Down Walls, Glen Kehrein writes about climbing to the roof of his college dorm in Chicago after the assassination of civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968. “The sound of gunfire bounced eerily back and forth off the large buildings, and soon my rooftop perch provided a near panoramic, yet horrific, view. . . . How in the world did I get from a Wisconsin cornfield to a war zone in the inner city of Chicago in less than two years?” Compelled by his love for Jesus and people whose backgrounds were different from his, Glen lived on Chicago’s West Side and led a ministry there that provided food, clothing, shelter, and other services until his death in 2011.

Glen’s life mirrors the efforts of believers in Jesus who’ve come to grips with the need to embrace those who are different from themselves. Paul’s teaching and example helped Roman believers see that God’s plan to rescue wayward humanity included Jews and gentiles (Romans 15:8–12). Believers are called to follow His example of acceptance of others (v. 7); prejudice and discord have no place among those called to glorify God with “one mind and one voice” (v. 6). Ask God to help you cross barriers and break down walls and to warmly embrace everyone, regardless of their differences. Let’s strive to leave behind a legacy of acceptance.

Reflect & Pray

How can you be more intentional with people who are different from you? What steps do you need to take to be more in line with Jesus’ embrace of all people?

Father in heaven, help me to represent You and make adjustments in my thinking and actions today as I strive to love others well.

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Ready to take on the new week? Painting? Do most want red, white and blue?

Another mighty American hero to admire. God bless him and all of them. They are our backbone.

I’d love for the President to join this mighty band some day. He saved them from obscurity. Hope they can survive the next 4 years with “leaders” who hate them.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...hope you and Penny are able to get out for some nice walks.

We are gearing up for yet another warm up...and rain. YUCK!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hi, there, Pro...we must always remember them, even tho they are trying to be erased.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

It looks like y’all got lucky and missed out on crummy weather, other than it being cloudy.

We had a little sunshine every now and then but it wasn’t nearly as cold as yesterday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu (and I spelled it right tonight)...

Hope you are really going to get some rain. “They” say some snow overnight and then RAIN! NOOOOO!!! It is supposed to be the middle of winter...NO rain!

Hey there, Kathy.

I had to go back and look. I didn’t even notice the misspelling last night. LOL

If we get a decent rain, it won’t be until later in the week. Thursday’s our best shot and we should get a good dose. It’s Republican Women’s Group meeting day and it ALWAYS rains then. :-)
At least it won’t be all that cold. 50s are forecast for that day.

I haven’t seen a weather report posted in the Lake Hood chat today but one I saw last night said you’d possibly be above freezing. That’s going to create a slushy mess if wet stuff makes it over the mountains. Yuck!

Hat tip to all Mustangs

[mylife]

Jeez I miss tongue tied, I think he was an ldo, still, roll on buddies.

[Kathy in Alaska]

luvie...you must be feeling a bit better to be “up”. Got some food in you, plenty of rest, breathing treatments working?

I agree with you wholeheartedly...we must remember our heroes. They are hated by the so called “leaders.

[fatima]

I miss him too.How he hated training Russians-hehehehehe
