TODAY’S TOPIC: Live peacefully with the leaders and the led
Text: Titus 3:1-10 (NIV):
"3:1. Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good,
3:2. to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men.
3:3. At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.
3:4. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared,
3:5. he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,
3:6. whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior,
3:7. so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
3:8. This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.
3:9. But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless.
3:10. Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him."
SHOWER (Reflection):
Today's reading reminds us to be obedient, respectful and supportive to the leaders. We are charged to maintain peace with all irrespective of their religious belief, education, exposure and others. If not, thorns of the world such as policies, behaviour, etc. So pray for them to change their method and skills towards the Church and you. Run away from those who will make you to commit sin.
