“Following Jesus and Loving People”

 

I love learning new insights and truth. But, what I need most in life is greater depth and obedience to the truth already in my heart. The past few weeks, the Lord has been reminding me of Philippians 4:4 which says, “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” Think of rejoicing as the act of finding “re-joy”, that is, reminding the Lord and ourselves that He is the great joy of life. I find the best way to rejoice in the Lord is to praise him as I go about my daily schedule. Even if the day is difficult, my eyes of faith can be opened to the blessings of his hand all around me. No matter how good or bad the circumstances, we can always rejoice in his absolute sovereignty!  Another way I rejoice in the Lord is by listening to godly music. The car radio is programmed to a Christian station, and I “enjoy” rejoicing in the Lord by listening and singing along with Christian artists who praise and exalt Jesus. Every time I say (or sing) thank you to the Lord, I am rejoicing again in his faithfulness. The Apostle Paul went on in chapter 4 to warn us about “thieves” which can steal our joy. Watch out for the thief of anxiety. In our world filled with pressures, deadlines, and responsibilities, it’s easy to forget to praise our source of joy and strength. In our “leave God out” culture, we are saturated with stories of people rejoicing in everything else but God. Our story can be different. As our Sister Fanny Crosby reminds us (in the Hymn, Blessed Assurance), “This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long…”

Rejoice in the Lord always! Philippians 4:4

“Following Jesus and Loving People”

 

I have been praying for a friend who is going through a particularly difficult trial. His faith in the Lord is strong, and God is choosing to bring him through this, instead of immediately getting him out of it. All my Christian life, I have witnessed this dilemma…how do we reconcile the power of God and the presence of sustained difficulties? If God wanted, he could make everything easy for us. Every time we had a problem, we say a quick prayer, and PUFF, it’s gone! But, the “difficulties disappearing act” is not reality. Our faith has to mature to enable us to trust in God, even in the presence of lingering trials. I am reading through Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians. The Corinthian believers are being influenced by some false “super apostles” who promote themselves and their “great sacrifices”. In countering this, Paul shares a little of his own “credentials” as an Apostle of Christ. When I consider what Paul went through, I think of my own trials and difficulties as quite small. He said, “I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea…” (2 Cor. 11:23b-25). Wow! I wonder how many of us would have said, “God can’t be leading me into this. Look at all the problems!” But, the truth is, you can be right in the middle of God’s will and be facing daunting challenges. Instead of looking at these challenges as reasons to quit, we can see them as reasons to trust God and persevere. And remember, miracles only happen in the midst of trials. As we grow in our faith, we see that problems only serve to push us deeper into the life of Jesus. “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day” (2 Cor. 4:16).

“Following Jesus and Loving People”

 

Is there a secret to a happy life? Of course, Jesus must be at the center. How can we be blessed, except that we first know Christ and receive his forgiveness? But, there’s so much more than forgiveness and a future in heaven! I have discovered the happiest Christians are those who learn to serve and give of themselves. When I meet a Christian who is moody and mean-spirited, I usually discover someone who is focused on themselves and who rarely serves in any way. A person who truly loves Jesus becomes like Jesus…and Jesus was the supreme giver! The Apostle Paul also loved to give, and spoke at length in 1 and 2 Corinthians addressing the issue of the believers in Corinth preparing and giving a special offering to needy believers in Jerusalem. He said, “This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God” (2 Cor. 9:12). As I read the Bible and walk with Jesus each day, I try to see my life as a calling to give, knowing that my giving is only possible because of what God first gives me. When I have the privilege of serving someone in Jesus name, I feel a sweetness in my heart and a recognition of “this is what I was born for!” Please understand, there are many ways to give. Money is just one way. Too many Christians have “opted out” of giving as a life style because they think of themselves as financially poor. However, think of giving as an everyday life opportunity. We can give a smile (no cost there); we can give a family member a hand with a chore; we can give time to notice a child; we can mentor a young person; we can give conversation in getting to know a non-believer; we can give prayer for a fellow believer who is hurting. Our narcissistic world feeds on the bitter fruit of loneliness and broken relationships as people step over others in their pursuit of self-fulfillment. Don’t buy into it. Jesus came to serve, and we can discover the joy of serving in him. Practice being a giver…and Enjoy!

“Following Jesus and Loving People”

 

As a Christian, there are basic moral issues with which I can stand in agreement with others of different religions or no religion at all. For example, we can work together as a group of concerned citizens in helping feed the poor, or providing for children at risk. However, there are issues at the heart of Christian faith for which I must be willing to stand alone, if necessary. One such issue is the identity of Jesus Christ. Many would try to get us to compromise for the sake of agreement to say, “Jesus was a good man, but not God”. Others would try to say that Jesus made statements about his being “inferior” to the Father. We must remember, however, that when Jesus became a man, he willingly submitted his human knowledge and actions under the Father’s sovereignty. He was fully human and fully deity. As God the Son, he clothed himself with a human body and dwelt among us. In Romans 9:5 Paul speaks of Jesus as, “Christ, who is God over all, forever praised!” What are some other reasons we believe Jesus is God?

By his virgin birth (Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:31,35)

By the many great miracles he did (John 10:38)

By his sinless life (1 Peter 1:18-19)

By his substitutionary work on the cross (1 Corinthians 15:3)

By his resurrection from the dead (Matt. 28, Romans 1:4)

By his receiving worship from people (Matt. 14:33)

By his own admission of Oneness with God, for which he received the death penalty of blasphemy (Luke 22:66-71)

By his exaltation to the right hand of God (Acts 1:9,11; 2:33)

By the worship and praise of all creation in heaven (Revelation 5:11-14)

In the tract, “The Incomparable Christ” (author unknown), we read,

“He stands forth upon the highest pinnacle of heavenly glory, proclaimed of God, acknowledged by angels, adored by saints, and feared by devils, as the living, personal Christ, our Lord and Savior. We are either going to be forever with Him or forever without Him. It was the incomparable Christ who said: ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me’ (John 14:6).”

I am a follower of Jesus is because “He is Lord”!
