Judges 10:6-11:28; Isaiah 31:1-9; 1 Corinthians 9:24-10:13
Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. 2 Cor. 13:11-12
Final words are important. Paul’s final greeting gives us quite a list of parting words to ponder. Farewell—rejoice, be content. Become complete—be whole, repair any broken relationships. Be of good comfort—be encouraged. Be of one mind—be unified, with the mind of Christ. Live in peace—within and without, with ourselves and with others. The God of love and peace will be with you—enjoy His presence. Greet one another with a holy kiss—let others know you care. —Rex Trogdon
God be with you till we meet again; loving counsels guide, uphold you,
May the Shepherd’s care enfold you; God be with you till we meet again. —Jeremiah E. Rankin
