Living Christ-like in a Christ-less Society

Key Text: Luke 19:10

Introduction:

Ever since time immemorial, the Bible have many stories and examples of a Christ-less society.

Cain slew Abel, The People in the times of Noah, Sodom and Gomorrah, The Isralelites adhering to Idolatry, and the list goes on.

Even the New Testament we have very clear accounts of Christ-less society found in Galatians 5:19-21

We can have all reasons to think be conformed with this world.

But let’s go with the Story of Zacheus in Luke 19:1-9

As we keep this in mind I wish to bring you back to the verses that goes after the immoralities that Paul with cited to the Galatians. Open our Bibles to Galatians 5:22-24

We should not allow our feelings to be easily wounded. We are to live, not to guard our feelings or our reputation, but to save souls. As we become interested in the salvation of souls we cease to mind the little differences that so often arise in our association with one another. Whatever others may think of us or do to us, it need not disturb our oneness with Christ, the fellowship of the Spirit. HDL 26.1

Colossians 3:1-17

In the end Jesus declared his deepest why? In Luke 19:10

We find Jesus’s purpose, objective, goal, focus, mindset, driving factor, motivation, underlying reason, common denominator, mission, inspiration, etc. what ever is the synonym or adjective that describes purpose. Jesus’s through his spectacle is to seek and to save that which was lost.

Appeal: I encourage you that always look through the spectacle of Jesus. 1 Corinthians 6:20
