Good evening. As i study my Sunday School Lesson tonight, of course i see how bible figures lived their lives as apposed to ours.
Pretty much the same. Spiritually especially.
I find that every moment of everyday i need to be reminded of who i am. Here it is. Galatians chapter 2 verse 20. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life that i now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God,who loved me,and gave himself for me.
This scripture says it all. But living this crucified life with Christ is not a gravy train. You make enemies of atheist, other Religions,and yes family and friends. We can expect that the same that happened to Jesus will happen to us. The Bible says John 1: verse 11.....He came unto His own and His own received him not. I do not know what to say about this in such a short venue. But do not be discouraged if you teach Sunday School ,or you preach or lead in the Church house. Rest a sure if God is leading you, Satan will oppose even if he uses spouses brothers or sisters, church members etc. It gets tuff out there, Do not buy into this everything gets better when u get saved philosophy. You will have peace with God but u will be at enmity with the world ,for they are hostile to Christ. The world is not your friend. This has probably been my greatest nightmare as a Christian. Learning to lean on Jesus when unexpected enemies attach me. The more i lean on Christ,the greater the attacks come. Pray for me, Sunday School in the AM i am prepared but the devil i am sure has someone or something lurking around the corner wishing to stop me from teaching, you preaching,you leading singing,you singing a special. Remember it is all for the glory of God. The Holy Spirit will guide yo in what to say. Goodnight....get up ....go to Sunday School and Worship service. Even if you just sit and listen, we feel so blessed to see you out there.
