Reflection for Saturday, Mar 8, 2008

Romans 12:1-8

I find this whole area of Romans is very inspirational.

I read this as a call for us to try to follow the example of Jesus and to offer ourselves up as a living sacrifice; that is, to place every aspect of our life before God as a worshipful offering. We are fond of saying that Christ redeems us. But what does that mean? It means comforting us in our sorrow and healing the scars Breisen wrote about.

Paul tells us not to conform to this world. Every day we're bombarded with messages about what to buy and tips on how to use people for our own gain. In this letter we're urged to go deeper; to have lives of real meaning; to love God and each other.
