THE EPISTLE LESSON: Hebrews 12:14-17
With the Spirit’s power let us live a life of repentance. This doesn’t mean that one goes through life morose and miserable. It means that we live in love and faith. We will pursue peace with those around us, even those who may be disagreeable. We will strive to live in holiness, shunning sin, so that we do not abuse or reject the grace of God. We will be careful not to be deceived by a momentary gain or pleasure that will lead us away from the Lord.
