[God...made a lasting mark through
the sacrifice of Jesus. Hebrews 13:20 MSG
During
this season of reflection and renewal, join me, and let's explore the visible
evidence that identifies us as faithful followers of Jesus. Can others see
Jesus in our lives? ~ Donna Oswalt]
Jesus came and told His disciple,
“I have been given complete authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and
make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and
the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands
I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of
the age. Matthew 28:19-20 NLT
A.W.
Tozer: People who are crucified with
Christ have three distinct marks: they face only one direction, they never turn
back, and they no longer have plans of their own. Those who profess their
faith in Christ become part of His church. To be part of Christ’s church is to
become the heart and hands of Jesus. Not only in thought but in words, not only
in words but in deeds, we are to be Christ to others. Before returning to the
Father, the last words Christ offers His disciples is to go and make disciples and teach these new disciples. As followers
Christ, we are to focus on Christ, be persistent and intentional, and choose
God’s plan. Which way are you going?
- Will you put down your agenda and follow God’s plans?
- Re-read the Scripture. Find Christ’s promise.
Jesus, You come to each of
us, find us exactly where we wait. I want to turn my eyes toward You, let my
heart be open to the needs You see. Fill my mouth with Your Words. Let my life be marked for You. Thank You, for always being
with me. – dho
