Accept One another
Why is it that as "Soldiers of the Cross" we are the one army who wound their own? Why are we not focused on battling Satan and the evil powers of this world and so wrapped up in spewing hurt and cutting remarks at each other? It's no wonder the world sees Christians as hypocrites. We are commanded to "accept one another,just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God." Last I remember, when Christ accepted me I was full of ugly sin,imperfection and in need of His mercy and grace. Why do we not then accept others who are in the same condition? It breaks my heart to see "Christians" cutting each other apart over personal opinions. Pride seems to come into play a lot. I know personally I am very self centered. I am constantly fighting self absorbed thoughts and self righteousness. Hold my tongue Lord!!

I agree, john 17 has always been a favorite of mine, talking about what was really on Jesus' heart in his final time of prayer here on earth. Our relationships are also to mirror the father and the sons. kinda like the husband and wife in eph 5.
