Jesus – Son of God
Matthew 16:25-27
‘’25 For
whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for Me will
find it. 26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or
what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?
27 For
the Son of Man is going to come in His Father’s glory with His angels, and then He
will reward each person according to what they have done.’’
No matter what you gain in this world, it will not be worth the price of losing your soul in
Christ. You often hear TV evangelists say to their viewers, just let Jesus into your hearts and
people in the crowd raise their hand or they come forward. Seems so simple, doesn't it?
Just think or say, "Jesus, come into my heart." But you know what, that's not the way Jesus
comes into our hearts. The process from head to heart is a long and arduous one for most
people. It requires a willingness to deny the permissiveness of self, a constant struggle to
deny the power of sin alive in our flesh, and a firm commitment to follow Jesus wherever and
whenever. This is the cost of discipleship. This is how we become disciples. This is what has
to happen on the inside, so that what is happening on the outside becomes valid. People don't
see the Jesus in my head, people see the Jesus in my heart.
Where is your Faith?
Simple isn't it? Is He in our heads or is He in our hearts? Are we disciples? Here, are we
disciples, or are we just religious people? Because we got plenty of religious people. We got
lots of those.
