M E S S A GE F R O M T HE PA S T O R

John 17:21-23 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me

through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in

you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given

them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in

me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent

me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

This is part of the priestly prayer in Jesus’ final discourse. Jesus prays not only for his disciples but all who

will come to believe. Jesus will soon suffer, die, and be raised on the third day. Jesus prays that the work he

has accomplished will continue in the work of his disciples and throughout the community of faith. This

includes the work today and continues on until Jesus Christ returns again. This work is done only to glorify

God the Father.

As the body of Christ, Jesus prays that we are to be one in each other as he and the Father are one. People

will know to whom we belong if we love one another. 1 Corinthians 12:14-26 Indeed the body does not

consist of one member but of many. God is the giver of our gift. For example if a foot says “because I am

not a hand, I am not a part of the body.” The body is to work together in union. The hand cannot say to

the foot, “I have no need of you.” Paul dedicates this chapter to oneness. If one part of the body is hurting,

the whole body is affected. When that one part of the body rejoices than the whole body rejoices.

1 Corinthians 13:1-7 is known as the love chapter. Many men and women use part or all of these verses in

a reading for their marriage. It expresses their promise of oneness to each other.

This is what love is. The scriptures talk about this again and again. We have peace because the gospel is

love. We love those whom we already love. This is not hard. We are to love the stranger who by our witness

may turn into a believer which is work of the Holy Spirit. As Jesus prays in his priestly prayer; “I have

given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so

that they may be brought to complete unity.”

Blessings, Pastor Marcia ╬

Loaves and Fishes would like to thank

everyone for their support at the Red

Barn at Charlie’s in Shawano. Thanks to

all the volunteers, we made a profit of

$1576.01. GREAT !!. A really big thank

you goes to Phyllis, Rita, Ruthann, Bonnie, Judy, Sue

O., and Jean M. from Ascension. Without all of you

helping we would not have been able to do this.

fortunate.

Don’t Speak the Truth Incorrectly! By Kevin Patterson

An older Lady who happened to be a very poor cook, gave a preacher and his family a homemade pie. The pie tasted so terrible, that the preacher’s wife had no choice but to throw it in the garbage. The preacher wanted to thank the lady for the gift, but at the same time, he wanted

to be truthful. After much thought, he sent the following note: “Dear Mrs. Jones, Thank you for your kindness. I can assure you that pies such as you bake never last long around our house.”

The truth is sometimes a difficult thing for us to handle, and we often have just as much difficulty administering it to others. No one would doubt that the Bible teaches us never to lie, but is there a wrong way to tell the truth? Yes! When telling God’s truth, we should never use the Bible as a club to beat someone over the head with what is right. We should always dispense His truth with loving kindness. Paul gave the members of the

church at Ephesus a very important instruction concerning the conveyance of God’s word. He told them in Ephesians 4:15 that they were to speak the truth, but they were to speak ‘truth in love’ That is the only way were are to relate the truth of God’s word to others. Now, we are most certainly commanded to tell the truth. There is no exception to this rule. Lying will only get us in trouble, both presently and eternally (Revelation 21:8). But, when we tell the truth, there is a right way and a wrong way to go about it. If we use the right way that Paul outlined to the Christians

in Ephesus, the truth may be used to turn a soul away from sin and to the love of God. However, if we use the wrong way and speak the truth our of pride, arrogance, or selfishness, then the truth will have been spoken, but a soul may have been lost. So, remember to speak the truth always,

but always speak the truth in love.

Thank you to John and Dorothy Nelson for this gem.
