September 8, 2024 - For the Church at the St. John Church of Christ
Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble. Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life. Proverbs 4:10-13
All of us can think of people in our early lives who imparted wisdom and influenced us in becoming the people we are today. They helped us not to stumble and guided us on straight paths. We now have the opportunity to be guides and mentors to a new generation growing up in our families and communities. We must make it a priority to be involved in the lives of the young people around us. Our church family has the important responsibility to do this spiritually, but also in social and academic aspects of life, as well. Doing this well, in the way Jesus would, requires time and energy. Think of the way Jesus lived with the apostles during the three years of his ministry, immersing himself in their lives and patiently training them to become the leaders of His first church. He did this with encouragement, love, and concern. We, like Him, must mentor with patience and kindness, never keeping a record of wrongs. There is no room for criticism, complaining, or condemnation. Those are attitudes not seen in the way Jesus interacted with others. We should always be hopeful and expect the best. Lover never fails and is powerful in helping our young people grow and flourish.
