Good morning everyone!!! Yes, a wonderful day to be alive in the LORD Jesus Christ!! Jesus or Judas?? Did you do one or the other yesterday? So many "Judas'" in our world. I would imagine sometimes we are a "Judas."
Now, what do you mean by that? I am not a Judas!!! What I am saying is this, if we don't stand up for God, we stand there or sit there and say nothing...then...by being silent we are endorsing what they are doing. What???
Okay, if you are with a group of colleagues and someone is using unacceptable language while denouncing Christianity, what do you do? If we don't do anything and just listen...then...by no action we are, in our silence, agreeing with this person.
Are we betraying our belief? OR, are we denying our belief and being as Peter? What is the difference between Judas and Peter? Peter denied Christ out of fear - Judas betrayed Christ for pieces of silver. Take time to read John 18 and you will find Judas' betrayal and Peters' denial.
Yes, as Peter, if we deny we can be forgiven. If we betray and continually endorse the things of the world we become as Judas and our reward is the "silver." We have to remember our destination, where we are headed ultimately.
John 18:36 "Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.""
Is your final destination Jesus' kingdom? Praise God!! Thank you for reading with me today. May God continue to bless you daily, hourly, and each minute of the day. We are given $1440 per day called minutes. May your "money" (minutes) be spent wisely for the kingdom of God. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
