"Fulfil all righteousness." That phrase should be the guiding rule of life for every child of God. Whatever is God’s command, whatever is the Lord’s requirement, whatever is right in service as a Christian then fulfill that righteousness. Do what is right at every opportunity.

From our Bible readings today. Mark 5-6
What was true for the demoniac is also true for us.
John declares Jesus as the Word. In Greek this is O Logos. This is an old word in the Greek used by Homer, the great myth teller, and by the Stoic philosophers. Logos simply means revelation as both reasoning and speaking, but when John says "O Logos “The Word” then it can only mean the One who spoke creation into existence and who is the expression and express image of God to us.

The temptation to give in to the world’s demands is overpowering if you are not a child of the King. But if you belong to Him, if you are an heirs of God, and a joint-heirs with Jesus Christ, then you will be strong enough to suffer with Him, and for Him. And know this as Paul declared that the earnest expectation of creation itself is waiting, waiting for the manifestation, the unveiling, the righteous resolution of the children of God to stand up and be seen. So, take your stand.
