“Following Jesus and Loving People”

 

I’ve had this conversation too often. A parent is lamenting to me about the troubles and problems of their son (or daughter) and says, “they won’t listen to anyone.” Years ago, before the nation of Israel went into captivity, the Lord sent a prophet, Jeremiah, to warn the people of coming judgment. After 23 years of preaching, here is what Jeremiah said, “For 23 years…the word of the Lord has come to me and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not listened. And though the Lord has sent all his servants the prophets to you again and again, you have not listened or paid any attention” (Jeremiah 25:3-4). Instead of paying attention to God and being willing to repent and change, the people replied, “It’s no use. We will continue with our own plans; each of us will follow the stubbornness of his evil heart” (Jere. 18:12). As I read Jeremiah, I see there are two choices for God’s people: listen to God or stubbornly follow your own ways. It’s easy to look back and say, “what were they thinking! If only they heeded God’s Word, and turned from evil, they would have avoided destruction and received the blessing of God.” We must remember, the warnings in God’s Word were recorded for our benefit. Will we listen to what God says? Are we turning from the stubbornness of our own heart and seeking the Lord and His Spirit? It does no good to know what God says and ignore Him. My heart aches for the people of America, and the city of Philadelphia. So many are lost, simply “doing their own thing” and rarely consider the Lord or what He says. As believers in Jesus, let’s lead by example as those who love to listen to our Lord; and with tender hearts say, “here I am Lord, ready and willing to love and obey you.” You can make a difference and bless others…not by being caught up in the godlessness, but by showing what it really means to follow Jesus and love others. God bless!
