I read this quote the other day and
wanted to share.
“The Son is getting harder to
see and His road harder to find. The world needs Heavenly guidance now more
than ever.”
So with that I
say… Be the Moon and reflect
the Son.
John 8:12
Jesus spoke to the people once more
and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to
walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”
Not only do we need to have the
Holy Spirit living in us but also through us. We may be the only Jesus some
people ever see.
People are already so misled from
the world or from being extremely religious that they've missed Christ and what it means to
live for Him.
Romans 10:1-10
1Dear brothers
and sisters, the longing of my heart and my prayer to God is for the
people of Israel to be saved. 2 I know what
enthusiasm they have for God, but it is misdirected zeal. 3 For
they don’t understand God’s way of making people right with himself. Refusing
to accept God’s way, they cling to their own way of getting right with God by
trying to keep the law. 4 For Christ has already
accomplished the purpose for which the law was given. As a result, all who
believe in him are made right with God. 5 For
Moses writes that the law’s way of making a person right with God requires
obedience to all of its commands. 6 But
faith’s way of getting right with God says, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will
go up to heaven?’ (to bring Christ down to earth). 7 And don’t
say, ‘Who will go down to the place of the dead?’ (to bring Christ back to life
again).” 8 In
fact, it says,“The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and
in your heart.”
And that message is the very
message about faith that we preach: 9 If you
confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God
raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For
it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by
confessing with your mouth that you are saved.
Vs 8 "The message is very close at
hand; it is on your lips and in your heart."
IS IT?
Yes we must confess with our mouth
that Jesus is Lord, but is the moment you received Christ the only time you’ve
done that? So is it on your lips? Shouldn’t that be a daily confession? And not
just under your breath.
…and in your heart.
I’ve hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119:11
I wonder if some have left it
there?… “hidden”
In order to “reflect the son” we need
to dive in, keep the message close at hand, on our lips and in our hearts. We
need to apply it, let it mold us, chisel away at us, share it, preach it, live
by it!
“The Son is getting harder to see
and His road harder to find. The world needs Heavenly guidance now more than
ever.”
This quote is so true in the world
we live in right now.
God desires so much more…
