Reflection

How should we share Christ’s passion for the perfection and gory of His bride? What does that look like in our daily lives? How is the church’s growth in holiness attractive to the nations and their kings, or to bring it closer to home, how is it attractive to the friends and family members in your immediate spheres of influence? How does the idea that Christ delights in His church encourage you? How does it convict you? By whose strength does the church grow in both numbers and in maturity? How do we travel the way of the Lord while at the same time build it up so that others may travel? How does the courage and faithfulness of previous generations of Christians smooth the highway for those who follow?
