Advent Devotion.12/21/07: Called To A Higher Righteousness

December 21st, 2007 · Posted in Advent Devotions ·

Today’s devotion from the Goshen College devotional site is taken from Matthew 1:18-25 and entitled Called To A Higher Righteousness.

Here’s a portion of it:

Do we recognize the presence of the Holy Spirit in morally difficult situations today? When public opinion is strong, when personal reaction is intense, when the law of the land (or the doctrine of the church) defines the parameters of acceptable behavior – can we hear a call to higher righteousness? Absent an angel’s visit, how do we discern what God is calling us to do in situations that involve judgment and/or long-term consequences?

This is indeed a question to consider!
