How are we different

How are we different
because we claim Jesus
as our brother, as our savior
as our Lord, living above?

What is different
about the way we walk
the way we deal with others
in this life, on earth below?

Do we love our neighbor
as we have been called
as Christ commanded
while we was a man?

Do we follow
the path of our savior
offering love, grace as we are given
different because
we claim the name of Jesus?

my comment posted to this post:
“This is a very powerful message and one that needs repeating. We as Christian deny Christ when we do not live out the Great Commission by creating barriers, stumbling blocks to Christ. We must be sowing joy, not judgment, love not division, hope not condemnation, agape love not the values of the world. Only in this are we fulfilling our call, using our gifts for God's glory.”

“Waste and Grace”,
by Rev. Frank Gulinello, Jr.
“ Jesus’ parable of the Sower focuses on the scattering of the seed.
No matter what kind of ground it falls upon, whether hardpan or
deep rich soil, God will have a harvest yielding a hundred fold.
So, scattering the seed aimlessly is not wasteful in God’s economy.”
