Scripture shows us the importance of kindness, of hospitality, and of the courage to speak truth to power. It reminds us that, through baptism, we die to sin and rise to new life with Christ. It also challenges us to prioritize Jesus above everything else and to be willing to take up our cross and follow him. As Christians, we have to be prepared to face whatever challenges come our way. And through our actions, we must fully embrace discipleship and live out the call to follow our Lord, Jesus Christ!
