SCRIPTURE: 2 Cor. 3-6

2 Corinthians 6:14-15
Our firm decision is to work from this focused center: One man died for everyone. That puts everyone in the same boat. He included everyone in his death so that everyone could also be included in his life, a resurrection life, a far better life than people ever lived on their own.

OBSERVATIONS: Be included in his life, a resurrection life. Jesus made it possible for us all to have a serious grasp on something previously beyond us.

APPLICATION: Joey, you are no greater than the next man. You are no less than he, either. Greet your congregations as Christ. And receive the hospitality of your community as if being received by Christ as well.

PRAYER: God, thank you for placing us on even ground, equal footing. Help me to guard my ego and my self-esteem in a healthy balance that is wrapped up in Christ. Through Him I pray, Amen.
