Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. Luke In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. Sandra Hamer Smith. Emma Danzey. How Long Should a Pastor Preach? Clarence L. Haynes Jr. To live with Jesus is to live with the poor.
To live with the poor is to live with Jesus. What Jesus did was sufficient. If your life is only Christlessness, then your death will be only more Christlessness, forever. These words are a touching testimony to the genuine humanness of Jesus. He had no romantic notion of the cost of discipleship. He knew that following Him was as unsentimental as duty, as demanding as love.
He has forgiven your sins, at the cost of His own dear Son. He has given you His Word, and the priceless privilege of prayer and worship. Yet now that we have this knowledge of Jesus Christ and this relationship with Him, we have become light and we are to live as light. God is the Sun too bright for us to see. Jesus is the Prism who makes the colors beautiful and comprehensible. He was not looking to build an empire, He did not want praise or adulation or to impress people with who or how many followed Him.
He stopped over and over again for just one person, for just one life. He accepted and bore upon the cross a death inflicted by others, and those other His special enemies, a death which to them was supremely terrible and by no means to be faced; and He did this in order that, by destroying even this death, He might Himself be believed to be the Life, and the power of death be recognised as finally annulled.
There is no salvation of soul, nor hope of eternal life, save in the Cross. Anyone grasping the promise only when he wants something very special for himself will be disappointed, because he is making Jesus the servant of his own comfort. The nearer we get to Him, the more intensely missionary we become. His ministry was to those whom society considered real sinners. They had done nothing to merit salvation. Yet they opened themselves to the gift that was offered them.
On the other hand, the self-righteous placed their trust in the works of the Law and closed their hearts to the message of grace. Jesus embodied the truth. He taught by example who we truly are, sons and daughter of the One God, same as He. Do we hide His Word in our hearts and allow it to fill our minds and direct our words and actions?
