This week's passage comes from a message Jesus gives to his disciples. As Christians, we are the modern-day disciples of Christ, so these words are meant specifically for us as well.
Read this passage carefully. What is Jesus saying to you?
Luke 12:1-3 (NIV)
Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying:
"Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs."
Spend a few moments with God thinking about these words. How do you feel about all your words and actions being proclaimed from the roofs? Are there things in your life that you wouldn't want to be made known?
If you find yourself feeling convicted about sins in your past, realize that you can be forgiven for those sins! Ask God for that forgiveness. On the other hand, if you find yourself feeling convincted about current sins in your life, spend some time talking to God about that. What does God want you to do? Are you willing to do it?
