BEING WITH JESUS
Memorise:
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and
ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 11:29
Read: Acts 4:13-14, 13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and
perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they
took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with
them, they could say nothing against it.
Bible in one
year: Deuteronomy 7:1-9:12, Job 3:3-19
MESSAGE!!!
It is one thing to
answer the call of Jesus Christ, and it is another thing to stay put with Him
after we answer the call. There are casual followers of Jesus Christ and there
are die-hard followers as well. The casual followers of Jesus Christ have their
reasons for causally follow Him. One of it may be because they cannot live by
the ideals that Jesus teaches in His gospel. Being with Jesus means living by
His teachings, He once lamented.
“And why call ye me,
Lord Lord, and do not the things which I say?”
Luke 6:46
Many call Jesus “Lord”
with their mouths but indeed, they do not regard Him as the Lord of their
lives. This is why, for the avoidance of doubt, Jesus said:
“….If ye continue in
my word, then are ye my disciples indeed: And ye shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free.”
John 8:31-32
Two things are clear
from our Bible reading for today; the first is, if you have been with Jesus
indeed, boldness will be your
trademark. The Bible says:
“For ye have not
received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit
of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.”
Romans 8:15
When a so-called child
of God is living in fear, we must check out whether indeed he has been with
Jesus. Secondly; someone who has been with Jesus lives a daily miraculous life,
that is another trademark of genuine followers of Jesus Christ. The Bible says:
“And beholding the man
which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.”
Acts 4:14
I have taught my
children in the School of Disciples that we can do more than Jesus did
according to His promise. When we believe this, we stop being caricatures of
His Ambassadors on earth. Then, we shall bring the whole world to their knees,
when we confidently tell them that Jesus is Lord. We are indeed the light and
salt of the world if we chose to be with Jesus, living according to His ideals.
Two great blessings of being with Jesus are; we shall learn of Him and when we
learn of Him, we shall find rest for our souls. Come to Jesus today and decide
to stay put. Don’t be a casual or temporary follower of Jesus Christ.
Action Point
Make up your mind to live the rest of your life
