Holiness
and honesty are two qualities which are to characterize the life of the
Christian. The ‘laws’ in Deuteronomy stress the importance of holiness.
Jesus, in His parable of the shrewd manager, emphasizes the importance
of honesty – “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be
trusted with much” (Luke 16:10).
We are not to put on a facade of holiness. We are to be honest in our
seeking holiness. If we despise the way of honesty and holiness, we will
go the way of folly against which we are warned in Proverbs 9:13-18.
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you" (Isaiah 60:1). * Let the light of Christ shine. * Let the words of Scripture lead to thoughts of the Saviour. * In Christ, we are called to salvation, sanctification and service. * Be wise – worship the Saviour. Is 60:1-6; Ps 72:1-7,10-14; Eph 3:1-12; Mt 2:1-12
