DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! 1

Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

 

Some people seem to be filled with worry.  They worry about what they eat, they worry about what they drink and they worry about what they wear and how they look.  Jesus is giving a great lesson here.  Don't even think about it.  Just trust God and dedicate your life to serving Him and these He will provide these things.

 

When it comes to worry some people will tell you to just try not to think about it.  That doesn't work.  If you don't believe me, just try not to think about an elephant.  If you try not to think about something, that is all you can think about.

 

What you have to do is to replace those thoughts with other thoughts.  That is why it is important to study God's Word and learn to meditate on His promises.  When you become focused on God and His provision for you it will clear your mind from all the worries.

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH JESUS 3

Matthew 27:22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
Romans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

Some day everyone will bow before Jesus.  Everyone will confess that Jesus is the Great and only King.

The sad part of this is that many will not recognize the fact before it is too late. Many need to recognize that you can bow before Him now and make Him Lord of Your life even as you read this by asking Him to come into your heart and save you and asking Him to be your Lord and King.

What will you do with Jesus?  Will you was your hands of him?  Will you just tolerate Him?  Will you recognize Him but not accept Him as Lord?  Do you just want Him when you need something?
Why not accept Him for what He truly is, King of Kings and Lord of Lords?

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH JESUS 3

Matthew 27:22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

 

SOME WANT HIM IN TIMES OF EMERGENCY

 

There are some who will acknowledge that Jesus is God in the Flesh.  They would not argue with anyone about Him being King of Kings and Lord of Lords but they treat Him and our Heavenly Father as sort of a spare tire.

 

When life is good and things are going great they don't pay much attention to Him.  When things start going bad or they begin to have troubles such as sickness or financial trouble they turn to Him and hope that He will  bail them out of trouble.

 

Sadly many when go through problems and become angry and wonder why God allows terrible things to happen to them.  They know about God, they know Jesus and claim Him as their Lord and Savior but they ignore Him until they get into trouble.

 

Jesus wants to be there for us in or good times as well as in our bad times.  No matter how close we walk with God we are going to have both.  I remember a poem I once read (I am not sure of the author) that sums this up pretty well:

 

When it is time to go to church,
I try to pay a visit,
Because when they take my casket there,
I don't want God to ask "Who is it."

 

We should never be a stranger to God.  We should have daily fellowship with Him.

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH JESUS 3

Matthew 27:22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

 

SOME WILL WANT HIM IN THEIR SOCIAL CIRCLES

 

There are many who would say.  I look up to Him and I respect Him and I want to spend a little time with Him.  I will visit Him when I go to church and I will mention Him when I talk to others who know Him.  He can be a great influence on my life.

 

All of these things seem noble and good but these same people just don't want to go off the deep end.  They don't want Him to dominate their lives.  He would not fit into their lifestyle at all times.  No need for them to take Him Home with them.

 

Lots of people know about Jesus but do not have a real personal relationship with Him.  When we begin to know Him on an intimate basis and really understand who He is, we can not help but humble ourselves before Him and accept Him as Lord over all that we have.

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH JESUS 2

Matthew 27:22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

 

SOME WILL TOLERATE HIM

 

Unlike the crowd who would have Jesus crucified there are some who would think themselves kind to just let Him go, and tolerate Him.  After all, what harm can He do?

 

In many Christian organizations today that is the way that Jesus is being treated.  They say things like, "We don't want to go overboard."  "We believe in Jesus but we don't believe that He is the only way."

 

Jesus is not a way...He is THE Way.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 

 

Jesus doesn't want you to accept Him as a great man and a great teacher.  He doesn't want to be accepted as a prophet.  He is the Son of God who gave His life for us and He wants to be your Lord and Savior.

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH JESUS?

Matthew 27:22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

 

Most of us who are at all familiar with the Bible know of Pilate and how he washed his hands of the whole matter of what to do with Jesus.  He felt like it was not his problem and he really didn't want to deal with it.

 

The mob that gathered called for Jesus to be crucified.  Many in the world today would cry out for Jesus to be crucified again.  When they sue to have a Nativity scene removed from a public park they might just as well be screaming, "Crucify Him."  When they sue because some government official is praying in Jesus name they just as well shout, "Crucify Him!"

 

Pilate asked the crowd what they would have him do and then he washed his hands and turned Him over to them.

 

When we fail to take a stand for Jesus we are no better than Pilate.  What will you do with Jesus.

MAN WITH A PURPOSE 5

GREAT THINGS ARE DONE BY MEN WITH GOD'S PURPOSE IN THEIR HEART

 

Daniel 1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

 

Daniel did not just do right out of habit, though it is good to form the habit of doing right.  He made a decision to do the right thing and followed it through.

 

Daniel did not just decide to do right because it was convenient. He did it many times in spite of dire circumstances. 

 

When you study your Bible you find that great things were done for God by men who had a purpose given to them by God.  Surely the apostle Paul was a man of purpose as were the Old Testament Saints.

 

History and even current events show us how men with a purpose further the cause of God.  The pilgrims had a purpose to establish a place where they could worship freely.  The founding fathers of our nation had a purpose to guarantee that freedom to generations to come.  Missionaries and Pastors that are preaching the truth from pulpits around the world are men with a purpose.

 

Propose in your heart to serve God with all your strength and abilities.
