You might have heard some people say that “the ends justify the means.” That is, as long as the “good” result is reached, how we get there is not that important. However, the Apostle Paul challenges us in Ephesians 4 to interact differently in situations than the world does. He used the word “instead” or “rather” several times to contrast the difference. The blind spot is that we often just do things like the world does and think that the ends justify the means! But God has given us a higher calling. Paul says, “But that is not the way you learned Christ.” What can we learn today to help us shine brightly for Christ, and to give hope to this world, instead of responding just like any person without Christ might respond? - Pastor Gaylord Tsuei
