Today's meditation comes from the New Testament, Ephesians 4:15. Paul, who was an apostle of Christ Jesus, mentions the phrase "love" several times in this epistle, encouraging believers to be one in Christ and to love one another. This verse equips believers to speak the truth in love, to proclaim the truth, and to build up the church of God. Paul compares the church in this chapter to the body, and the head of this body is Christ, through whom the whole body is connected. The previous verse mentions that there are those in the church who "fall into the wiles of men and the spells of deceit" and "follow every kind of heresy". Dear brothers and sisters, in your circle of life, do you notice people who are deceived and need the light of truth? Are you willing to speak honestly and practice the truth in love? Thank you, God, who loves us, for giving us the same Holy Spirit, so that we may have the same hope for this life and eternal life through faith in Christ's crucifixion and resurrection for our sins! Such a truth sets believers free and grows them, and unites us in the love of the Lord and helps each other. Today, may the love of God through the Holy Spirit and through the members of the church make you and me grow in every way and become more and more like our Head, Christ Jesus!
