John 8:31-36

Dispute Over Whose Children Jesus’ Opponents Are

31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?”

34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

Online Devotion from Pastor Greg

Acts 6:8-15
Continuing our devotions on the book of Acts we see another instance of the early church trying to figure out what it means to be the body of Christ.
An opportunity for us to reflect on our own efforts as a Lutheran church, trying to embody the living Christ in our world.
