Not one of us can die to save anyone. My death will not bring saving grace to you, and your death will not give me eternal life. Jesus alone died to save us all. However, we are also blessed with His life. By following our Lord, we too can bless others with our life. Think of a Christian, famous or simply a neighbor, who blessed you through actions or words; he or she blessed you with life. Each of us in Christ has that ability to bring blessing through living. Yes, it may also work the other way.
A Monday is one of those days when many go into work and quite fail to bless others. Some of it is that their job is a terrible fit for the type of person they are, but they gotta work for that money. Much of the problem may well be that we are often told that Mondays should somehow be that way. Faith in Christ Jesus says that it need not be that way for us.
Today, as it is a Monday again, let us make every effort to bless others with our life. Look to Christ for the strength to do this. You and I cannot do it alone, but a smile on a Monday may be one of our best witnesses to the changes Christ has made in us.
Have a blessed Monday in Jesus!
