Brothers and Sisters

1 Peter 3:1-7

Alright, none of us are wives or husbands at this age. But all of us are brothers and sisters in Christ.

So Ben gave an illustration at Joey's wedding, and it relates well with this passage.

“Someone holds up a cheap but rugged coffee mug, noting its strength. Then he holds up a $25 Laura Ashley teacup, noting it's "the weaker of the two vessels." It's more easily damaged but also the more valuable.”

Guys, we are that rugged coffee mug. And girls, you are that Laura Ashley cup. As guys, we are the stronger of the two cups. And as girls, you are the more easily damaged cup but also the more valuable. There is a difference. Therefore brothers, you all must treat your sisters with love and respect because they are more valuable. I know that I also need to work on this. This shouldn't be for ourselves or to please the ladies, but it is to please Christ.

How are we to love our brothers and sisters? Our thoughts and attitudes should be able to make us see that together, we are all called to similar things. Such as not being a stumbling block to each other. This may mean different things. Such as being not being a flirt or dressing appropriately. This should not only be for respect of each other, but also for respect of God.

By the way, the Holy Spirit is living in you. Just pray on what He is telling your heart to do.
