Do love this book?
Do you love the riches found within its covers?
Knowing that this carries the authority of our Good king and creator?
I have learned to love it for within its pages is found life and a light unto my path that I may know the pursuit that is worth living for.
NKJV So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Do you know that you are frail?
That you are not guaranteed another day.
For every breath I take is one closer to the day that I die.
My prayer is that you would ponder the paths you tread and know the ways there of.
Where does it lead?
sowing to the flesh or to the spirit for you can be sure that i will reap a crop from the decisions I make.
The scary thing about the truth is that it teaches us...
NKJVThere is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
What if you have been deceived.
Christian do you not want to live for what has eternal value and worth?
That will not come back void?
That will not have you looking back 20 years from now in your nice house your large 401k and say I wish I hadn’t done all that i did for what it cost me was far more than what i thought.
For what i lost i cannot get back.
In this passage Jesus reveals to us this reality that we may walk with wisdom.
Read
Pray.
Christ revealed to the disciples that He was the Christ
The mission of the now revealed christ that is going to die
The mission of the now revealed christ that is going to die
This didn’t fit peters agenda and what He thought the Christ would be and do.
This didn’t fit peters agenda and what He thought the Christ would be and do.
And Jesus testifies that he is not being mindful of the things of God but rather of the things of men.
And Jesus testifies that he is not being mindful of the things of God but rather of the things of men.
Time for a teaching moment...
Then HE jumps right into if anyone desire to come after the way of ME then
HE must deny
He must Pick up His Cross
He must follow me.
Its no longer my passions.
It is no longer my wants.
Its no longer my desires.
its no longer my dreams.
But now i am called to utterly forsake these things for the will of God.
I am then to pick up my cross.
The instrument of capital punishment.
The symbol of death.
The reminder that i am under new authority.
I am then to pick up my cross.
The instrument of capital punishment.
The symbol of death.
The reminder that i am under new authority.
I no longer serve myself for it is dead and now i serve Christ.
I lay my life at the altar because of the mercies of God.
This is my reasonable service.
I no longer serve myself for it is dead and now i serve Christ.
I lay my life at the altar because of the mercies of God.
This is my reasonable service.
With this forsaking i am also called to follow HIm.
He doesn’t take us anyone where he himself has not or will not Go.
He leads by example.
He is the good shepherd.
He doesn’t command and live contrary to the instruction.
Rather it was by his prophesying of his future death by the hands of the religious leaders that it spurred the conversation to his disciples of the cost of following him.
It requires a death.
It is a total surrender to the will of God and not to man.
This is the life God himself endured for sinners who didn’t deserve it.
He humbled himself and became a man, leaving his heavenly throne and was obedient to the point of death…even the death of the cross.
What Jesus calls us to is nothing short of the life he lived…why would you expect to live any differently than the way the king has lived who gave you life?
He did it when we had nothing, could bring nothing, were unworhthy and were the enemies.
We lay down our lives to the one who gives us everything, who is worthy, who is not just our friend but our savior and redeemer.
Do you Desire?
This is a grace of God
Have you Denied?
This is the way of God
Will you Devote?
For this is the heart of God
For the Dividend to be received?
For this is the eyes of God
What will your bottom line be when you stand before God and He weighs on the heavenly scale the value of your life?
The a business mindset.
Here Jesus is appealing to those who have a business mindset.
What brings true profitability and reward for the investment.
What brings true profitability and reward for the investment.
Anyone who owns a business can certainly understand Constantly the need for productivity.
For if I am not productive, I do not eat.
If my business is not profitable I do not eat.
Eventually that trickles down to those who would then work under me without food either.
A problem for a business man is that He has a hard time seeing how anything else other than money could be profitable.
For instance going to church for that time could be better used for planning and preparing…for the thing that truly brings a profit in his or her mind.
Or instead of going to and enjoying the company of his family he would assume right invoices, bid jobs, so that he may build them a better life because of his or her profitability.
But the question must be raised and Jesus is appealing at…is that truly profitable?
He gives us a set of glasses, a perspective that we are able to ponder some hard truths on the things that we live for.
He proclaims unto us the life perspective (life goggles if you will) that we are to put on to see whether or not what we are living for has eternal value.
He proclaims unto us the life perspective (life goggles if you will) that we are to put on to see whether or not what we are living for has eternal value.
For some of us it may be found out that what we are actually finding our source of life in will be found out as a waste and truly not life at all.
What do i love more than following God?
This in essence is what Jesus is asking when He says, “What would a man give in exchange for his soul?”
A house with an attached garage and a lamborgini to park under its roof?
A bank account that brings much security against any calamity that may come your way?
A business that i may find my identity and worth in so the culture knows im somebody?
The ability to go hunting, fishing or play basketball whenever you want?
Maybe its the retirement that you are entitled to?
Maybe its the comforts you can enjoy.
Maybe the freedom to do with your body as you wish.
Enjoy the pleasure of same sex relations rather than obey.
