Luke 12:8
Jesus vigorously addressed hypocrisy ~ saying one thing and doing the opposite. Even the twelve disciples, who knew Jesus personally and walked with him every day for three years, fought with their own hypocrisy. It was difficult to say they believed that Jesus was the King, the Savior whom the Bible predicted. They risked imprisonment or death for what they believed. Jesus understood the danger they faced; he even knew they would deny knowing him at times. But he still expected them to love him and believe in him enough to fearlessly acknowledge and proclaim him as Savior.Jesus invested three years of his life reaching and training the disciples, knowing that after he was gone they would be the ones who continued to spread the word about God. He knew they would risk embarrassment, and even death to tell other people about his love and about his plan for every person. They needed to know how central they were to the survival of the truth about God.
You are precious to God and he is watching over all you do, including the times you stand up for what you believe in.
Selah people' and church friends...God will watch over you when you step out of your comfort zone to tell others about God. As you talk about what you believe, you are continuing the tradition of what the disciples bravely started.
Your voice raised in praise of who God is will be heard here on earth in heaven. Shout out what you believe. Your words count. Carry the message to all who will listen and don't just say it with your lips, but more importantly speak it with the way you live your life for Christ each day, in the classroom, at work on or in the fields don't sit back but Stand Up For Jesus!
"His Peace be upon you as we grow up in his Discipleship and remember to grab someone along the way and tell them just how much God loves them!"
Your pastor,
Rev Muston ~ (PreacherPatrick)
