"The power of God's Spirit have washed you and made you holy and acceptable to God" — 1 Cor 6:11.
When we meet and talk with our friends and members of our families, we get to know so many issues. Everyone wants to share their difficulties and disappointments. For we very often do not know how to solve our problems on our own. So we try to share when we feel that other people listen to us. In the neighbourhood and in the families there are so many disagreements. Even small things can become enormous problems.
It is interesting that we prefer to talk with others for hours than to pray in the church. Yesterday when I visited my family in Poland, I experienced the same situation. My relatives shared a lot of their stories. They expressed their cases and made me listen to them. At the same time, when I was traveling home, I entered two churches. It was so calm inside. There was no one in a chapel and in the sanctuary, in Rychwałd there were only a few people. In both of these places, there was Jesus Christ waiting for people to share their stories. The Son of God was there to help all the believers. However, we Christians do not come to visit him. We sometimes choose to take our complaints to the court than to Jesus Christ. We forget that we could discuss all the matters with Jesus in the church. With him, we are able to judge everyday matters.
We should be ashamed if as Christian we rarely share our issues with our Lord. As good people we do have a share in the blessings of God's kingdom (v. 9). We should not forget about our dignity as followers of Christ. We should not fool ourselves. The Son of God, Jesus Christ, is the Truth and he teaches us everything. Through the Scriptures, he explains to us how to behave in every case. Let us believe that we have been washed and made holy and acceptable to God. We really are capable of making the right decisions with Jesus.
