Isaiah 1:11-17; Psalm 50; Matthew 10:34 – 11:1

Doing the right thing

Isaiah is charged with telling the people of Sodom, “God says take your wrong doing out of my sight. Learn to do good. Be just, look after the needy, be kind”. Jesus emphasises this message, “I’ve come not to bring peace but to upset anyone who prefers to do wrong, rather than what is right”. What, in my life, would upset Jesus? Decide what you can do today, that positively prefers right to wrong. And do it!
