Do not lord it over those in your charge, but be examples to the flock.
God doesn't want us to beat people over the head with our salvation that comes from Jesus
Christ. In love, God wants us to share Christ through our acts of love, kindness and joy.
(1 Peter 5:3
NRSV)
In a Peanuts comic strip, Linus listens attentively as his little sister tells him about her potential as
an evangelist. She says to Linus: "I would have made a good evangelist. Do you know that kid
who sits behind me at school? I convinced him that my religion is better than his religion." "How
did you do that?" Linus asks. "I hit him with my lunch box!" Lucy replies.
Dear God, fill me with your love, as I share it to move others closer to you. Amen.
