Criticize

"In your hearts regard Christ the Lord as holy," 1 Peter 3:15.

Well, of course! Why wouldn't we? Sure! We who've been redeemed clearly see him that way. Yes. Except for, maybe, when we did good deeds or committed righteousness and then got the short end of the stick. When we tried hard to do the best for everybody concerned only to have them criticize us for looking out only for ourselves. But especially, when we served God's will faithfully and found harsh opposition. So especially then do we hold Christ holy, we don't even have to worry about that, because he will bless us. That's the promise.

When we meet a brother or sister today we tell of the holiness found in Christ. And together we give thanks to God for the blessings he promises in doing his will.
