3rd March Pastors Post
As we draw near to celebrating Easter, now is a good time to look at our relationship with Jesus Christ. The first question we need to ask is,” Have we allowed Jesus Christ to live His life in and through us?” Are we showing the love of Jesus Christ to everyone, not just to ones we like, but to those we don’t like. Jesus gave his life because He loves us all. We are told that as His children we are to follow his example.
(Mat 5:44 NIV) But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
(Mat 5:45 NIV) that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
(Mat 5:46 NIV) If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?
(Mat 5:47 NIV) And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
(Mat 5:48 NIV) Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
(Mat 6:1 NIV) “Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
Now is a great time to have a self examination on our relationship with Jesus Christ.
I invite you to join us this Sunday at 11 A.M. in taking a look at our relationship with Jesus Christ.
Pastor Jim Meade
