Scripture Reading
“And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Ephesians 5:2 ESV
Thought For the Day
In Ephesians 5:2, Paul asks believers to emulate Christ’s sacrificial love, describing it as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. This verse encapsulates the essence of Christian living: walking in love as imitators of Christ.
Christ’s love was not merely a sentiment or emotion; it was an active, selfless choice demonstrated through His sacrificial death on the cross. This unparalleled act of love serves as the ultimate example of how we are to love one another.
Meditation for the Day
Walking in love requires humility, selflessness, and a willingness to prioritize the needs of others above our own. It involves forgiving as we have been forgiven, serving as Christ served, and extending grace to all. How have I prioritized the needs of others above my own?
Prayer for the day
Dear LORD, as we imitate YOUR sacrificial love, may my life become a fragrant offering, glorifying God, the FATHER, and spreading HIS love throughout the world. This I pray, in YOUR name, JESUS. Amen
