If Rome were anywhere near the cross of Christ, they would automatically draw near to the believers. When Rome is ready to abandon its self-made religion, its doctrines of darkness, let us know. We have always been unified with those who trust Jesus, alone. And, we await with open arms those who wandered into the wilderness, duped by the glitter of Roman gold.
The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
Eight Days reflecting on our change in Christ
Day Four: Changed by the Lords Victory over Evil
Overcome evil with good (Rom 12:21)
This day takes us deeper into the struggles against evil. Victory in Christ is an overcoming of all that damages Gods creation, and keeps us apart from one another. In Jesus we are called to share in this new life, struggling with him against what is wrong in our world, with renewed confidence and with a delight in what is good. In our divisions we cannot be strong enough to overcome evil in our times.
