Devotion:
Read Romans 12.
Our focus this week is on living the way that Jesus taught us. This passage from the letter to the Romans is one of my favorite descriptions of that way. The Apostle Paul is writing to the Christians in Rome. He has used the first part of his letter to delve into deep theological teachings about our relationship with God and what God did through Jesus Christ. At chapter twelve, he pivots to a focus on how we are to live our life based on those beliefs and understandings. So, this is an early Church view of what it looks like to be the people of Christ.
How would you describe the way of Christ? I invite you to take some time to write that down somewhere (or type it on some device). Focus particularly on verses nine through twenty-one. How would you state similar thoughts in your own words? Would you include any of this in your personal description of the way of Christ?
You know what comes next. After stating what you believe the way of Christ looks like, reflect on how much of that you are putting into practice in your daily living.
Personal Worship Option:
Always remember a key to learning the way of Christ: be in constant prayer and open to the Holy Spirit leading and guiding you in that way.
