Walking Our Walk

  Some time back we looked at the beginning of Paul's letter to the Ephesians.  In chapter 1 he tells us that the Father raised Jesus from the dead to sit at his right hand in heaven.  In chapter 2 we learn that we were raised with him by being baptized into his death and resurrected with him so that we too sit in the heavens with Jesus and the Father.  So we must learn to sit with him, learn who we are, and see things from his perspective before we begin to do anything else. 

  In chapter 4 Paul tells us we must learn how to walk on this earth in a way that is worthy of our calling and gives evidence of who we are.  We must walk as people who are humble, gentle and patient.  We must walk in unity with one another, at peace because we are one in the spirit and one in the body of Christ.  We have one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God who is Father of all.

  For reflection:  Does my daily walk reflect who I am in Christ?  
  Let us pray.  Jesus, your walk was not easy even though you, above all people, knew who you were.  I am not as confident in who I am, and not as confident in my walk. Please light my path more brightly.
