Christ said, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world” (John 18:23) What do you think He meant by this statement?  Do you see any ways in which this applies to your own life?

Just think for a couple minutes what some of your “normal” friends are like.  What are their priorities?  Do they care about the Earth, or about their ageing grandparents, or about forgiving others?  What is it like to communicate with these “normal” people?

To live as a Christian means to “witness” to a different way of life.  Loving one another is our special way of life and this love is acted out by forgiving (70 times 7), loving our enemies, being concerned for the poor, the sick or injured, and spending time in prayer.  The Little White Book (for Easter 2010) says that “our witness may not always be dramatic, but even in the small things we do, we follow a very different way of life”.

I am glad to have you with me in this “different way of life”.  God bless you.
