Lent@Landmark: Day 23

“What were you thinking?”

Have you ever asked that question? Ever been asked that? I wonder if there’s actually a satisfactory answer to that question, one that would make me say, “Oh, well, if that’s what you were thinking, then okay. No harm done.”

We ask it because we know that words and actions come from someplace within—“from the overflow of the heart,” as the Bible says.

As we spread the Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ, we’re building a world in which we’d never have to ask each other that, because here is the goal:

Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 2:5)

Think of all the problems around the world that will solve! —MH
