During World War 2, thousands of young Americans went to Europe as GI’s to help liberate those impacted by the Third Reich. Being thousands of miles away from home, these young men and women had a tendency to live and act in ways that they would never if they had been home. The same is true for Christians today. We are not home and we develop the attitude that it doesn’t really matter how we live while we are here on earth. For the GI’s, the term was coined “Dirty Americans” and for the Christian, it can be just as bad. Today’s passage challenges us to live for Jesus no matter where we are.
