Over the past month or so we have been looking at the Normal Christian life.
This is in reality a life that is “radical” to the lost world
However, it is completely normal by biblical standards
Particularly we have been looking at following Jesus.
Last week we looked at how we must get to a place of surrender
Whenever, Wherever, Whatever
Tonight we are going to look at 3 examples of people who said alright Lord, Whenever, Wherever, Whatever, use me as you see fit.
Ethiopian Eunuch
This guy is a really cool story of a guy who gets saved as a direct result of evangelism.
He knows little to nothing at all about Jesus and ends up getting saved as a result of Philip preaching the gospel to him.
According to Ethiopian tradition this guy is the first person to evangelize Ethiopia.
He gets saved and immediately decided whenever, wherever, whatever Lord.
He is ultimately used to reach his home country for Christ.
Read up on Simeon Bachos the Eunuc
Paul
Paul is an example of a non believer who gets radically transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ.
He has a similar testimony to a lot of people today.
Completely against Jesus and Christians
Paul’s life is one of complete and utter surrender.
Upon salvation he was radically transformed
much like those who meet Jesus today.
He realized the point of His life was to reach the world with the message of Jesus Christ.
He most certainly said whenever, wherever, whatever Lord.
The Lord had a plan for Paul and he said yes Lord, whenever, wherever, whatever.
Because of this heart, he went on to reach the Gentiles for Christ
thats you and me.
He wrote roughly 14 books of the NT.
This guy changed the world because of His willingness to surrender his life into the hands of the Lord.
Side note: Simeon was from Africa, more proof that the Ethiopian evangelized his country for Christ.
John Mark
John Mark is the cousin of Paul’s missionary companion Barnabas.
This guy initially counted the cost of following Jesus & didn’t think it was worth it.
John Mark flakes out and goes home.
This becomes a major point of friction later on in Acts.
This is on the end of the road for John Mark.
1 Peter 5:13 tells us that John Mark gets discipled by Peter
Peter says Mark is his son in the faith
Discipleship changed everything for John Mark.
This guy is just like you and me.
He was simply an ordinary guy who decided “alright Lord, use me as you see fit.
whenever, wherever, whatever”.
Paul on John Mark later in life.
John Mark goes from being a flake to being profitable.
He later goes on to write the gospel of Mark.
We can see from the example of these three men that when we choose to follow the Lord & tell Him Whenever, Wherever, Whatever… we are able to be used to change the world.
The testimony of these guys is only 3 of numerous men and women that have decided to surrender their lives fully to the Lord.
Imagine how the Lord will use you if you simply tell Him Whenever, Wherever, Whatever.
Use me how you see fit.
Submitting to the Lord that He can use you however He sees fit will lead you on a lifelong adventure that is beyond fulfilling.
You are free to live a life with passion and purpose
