Reflection Points
- What treasures in your life can make the same claims as Jesus? Could they even accomplish them? Are any of them even worth comparing to Jesus? Have they or could they ever do what He has done?
- Is your life characterized by encouraging the discouraged? Can anything other than the Gospel really deposit courage into your life or anyone else's?
- Is your life characterized by pursuing unity in love? What would it mean for you to be grace driven at home? At work? At church?
