As followers of Jesus Christ, this is one tension that we live in. We know the right path... we know what we should do... and yet, the other option is always looming right there. We justify our choices. We point fingers at others (and even God). We convince ourselves that it is just too hard. And yet, we know the right path...

Jesus taught that the tension is real...
John 16:33
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

At least we are not alone in the tension...
Romans 7:15
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.

There has been wisdom about the tension all along...
Proverbs 14:12
There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.

Yet, Jesus shares how to resolve the tension...
John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Our confidence is in Christ...

Ephesians 1:13-14
And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

1 Peter 3:8-9
Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. 9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

Church... Jesus prayed for us modern day believers.
May we truly strive to honor His prayer by walking in humility, practicing patience, and demonstrating grace with one another and with all who call themselves a follower of Jesus Christ.

John 17:20-23
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me."
