Patterns

Joshua 3:14-4:7

Psalm 37:1-18

Romans 12:1-8

Matthew 26:1-16





Paper patterns are fragile. They come all in one sheet. You have to cut apart the vital components trying to cut keep to the correct lines and not to tear the tissue. Jesus is our pattern for living. We have to be careful to follow the correct guidelines and not conform to the ways of the world around us. How essential is it to have a car for each person, to have more that one pair of shoes, to throw away and not recyle? How high do we hold complete integrity and honesty? Do we give to the poor or our retirement fund? The pattern of the world is easy to follow. Jesus' lines are not always to easy to see and decifer.
