Help! I'm Being BulliedSample

Has anyone ever called you a hypocrite? Or have you ever called someone else a hypocrite? Hypocritical people are those who say one thing and then do something else. They might claim to believe in something, but they don’t act that way. When we choose to believe in Jesus, we are told to lay down our old lives and take on the new life that Jesus offers. This new life is full of light because we are following Jesus, who is the light! However, if we claim to follow Jesus but don’t treat others the way he tells us to, we are hypocrites. We can’t pick and choose to obey only parts of what Jesus says to us. In order to live in the light of Jesus, we have to fully commit to loving others and treating them the way that Jesus calls us.

Challenge: Take time today to evaluate where you’re at with Jesus. Do you claim to fully follow him but still struggle to treat others with love? Stop living in darkness today and take a step toward the light. If you don’t follow Jesus, why not? Take a step towards fully following him today.
