But you were washed!

“And that is what some of you were.  But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” -1Cor 6:11

 

This is what Paul says after giving a list of sins where all of us would be found guilty.  What is his point?  His point is that we are no longer who we were, but are now cleansed and forgiven of our sins.  So even though Christmas gets chaotic, family gets frustrating, and our patience gets short, remember this truth.  Remember as you interact with you family that you are washed, you are sanctified, you are justified.  Go about your day with this attitude.  Make this holiday an opportunity to display the love of Christ and act as one who is different and cleansed. 

 

Today, pray that you and others in the church would represent Christ well at home this Christmas season.  Pray especially for those who have unbelievers in their homes this Christmas, that they would make Christ look beautiful and glorious!
