The Bible In Australia

DAY 6 OF 14

These words are among the few Bible verses that we can be certain most Australians hear and even utter each and every year. They shape the sentiment of our Anzac Day ceremonies, and they represent one of the greatest teachings of Christianity: that God incarnate surrendered his own life for us, his enemies made friends. It changes the nature of war to consider that the best, perhaps the only, motivation for it should be the love of one’s friends.

Does your love for your friends (and indeed your enemies) result in you willingly sacrificing yourself for their benefit? Be honest…

Dear Lord, we are the recipients of your sacrificial love. Please make us people who live out that same love for our friends, and even for our enemies. Amen.
