‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these
my brothers,[f] you did it to me.’
Matthew 25:40
“Don’t shine so others
can see you... shine so that through you, others can see Him!” – CS
Lewis
Colossians 3:1-15 As we dive into Paul’s
letter to the Colossian Church... we have to realize what the Colossians were
dealing with....These folks were presented the truth of Jesus and His
resurrection, but they were heavily influenced by Greek philosophers and even
oriental religions. Paul’s aim was to point the Colossian Church to the
supremacy of Christ and the denial of self.
Do You ever find
yourself thinking that YOU’VE GOT THIS and that God is there when we “need”
Him?
Friends.... we
NEED HIM EVERY HOUR!
Matthew 25:31-46
When our eyes are so full
of what we want, what we think and what we feel, we MISS needs of others who
are around us. We find ourselves in a place where it’s difficult to allow Jesus
to shine THROUGH us!
Ask yourself this... “Do
I need to exercise more self denial and more submission to HIS ways instead of
always demanding ours?
2 Tim. 3:1-5 Having NOTHING to do
with...self denial friends!
Galatians 2:20 – Christ has to LIVE IN
and THROUGH you!
Luke 18:9-14 – When Christ lives in
us...we can SEE others in their need and we have compassion and we ACT on being
a “touch from God” in their lives. This my friends... is TRUE Religion!
Go BE the Church!
