JESUS DID MORE THAN TALK; HE MADE THINGS HAPPEN!

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: “Be an example to all believers in what you teach, in the way you live, in your love, your faith and your purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12

TODAY’S MESSAGE: As Jesus walked this earth, he did much more than just set down and talk about the scriptures. He lived in such a way that others would follow him. He performed miracles and he lived his life the way he taught and preached. He lived in love and purity. He cared for the sick and those with deformities. He lived a life that could not be denied, even by the Pharisees and the Sadducees. The message he carried with him was full of life. Everywhere he travelled he took away sickness and disease to make the lives of others easier. Through his actions and his life, he was able to obtain the faith of others. The faith of those around him became so strong that they eventually died terrible deaths before they would ever deny him.

The world we live in today is not much different than in Jesus’s time. He is still with us, in Spirit rather than in human form. He still performs miracles and heals people. However, he also allows us to go through temptations, sicknesses and sadness so that we can also develop and grow in a faith that will be unwavering. Our lives, too, are to representative of Jesus. We also are to be loving, kind and generous. We are to be wise in the Lord, know the scripture and be able to live our faith which must be undeniable. We also must be more than just talk. We must be able to make things happen. We must reach out to those who need Christ and offer the living, breathing salvation message he gives us. We must offer Jesus to all, by not only showing and talking the scriptures, but also by living the way the scriptures tell us. Our lives must be a showcase in a culture that is not of faith and trust in God. We must not try to live in the world sometimes and in Jesus when it suits us. We must commit to one and not the other. Which have you chosen? PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
