I have a sign on my grease board. It’s been replica louis vuitton laptop bag there for nearly 20 years. It simply says and asks, “Where’s Jesus In It?”. I used to use the grease board as my “story board”. Something I learned while in the replica louis vuitton laptop bag business world, from Walt Disney, many years ago. Once I had replica louis vuitton laptop bag a sermon in mind, I’d go back and ask myself. Okay, where’s JESUS in this message? Now, I do it all on power point digital pages.
A month ago or so I read a book by Rick McKinley entitled, Jesus In The Margins. While the replica louis vuitton laptop bag story line is different than what I gleaned from the book, I got the replica louis vuitton laptop bag message nonetheless. Yes, I had Jesus in every message, but He was “in the margins” and not at the core, the body of it!
Ouch!
I looked back at all the replica louis vuitton laptop bag foundational teachings I had done: Timothy, Barnabas, James, Agabus, Moses, etc. He was there too, off in the replica louis vuitton laptop bag margins. In this new season, I can’t get enough of Him, nor learn all that replica louis vuitton laptop bag I can. Since He is INFINITE, I know it’s a never-ending journey. But, I’m on the road at least.
And while I have replica louis vuitton laptop bag always been amazed at His humanity, I am now seeing so much more in who replica louis vuitton laptop bag He IS (today- now)- and I am amazed! His divinity goes without saying; however, once we see Him as truly and replica louis vuitton laptop bag fully human, we can’t help but ask ourselves- WHY NOT ME? I am a son of God, so why can’t I BE more like HE? Talk about a reason to live!
You want an exciting life: follow and really BE like JESUS!
South African scholar Albert Nolan said it. “We consistently underrate Jesus as a human figure in history.” Maybe it is because we subconsciously do it. Possible? Here’s what replica louis vuitton laptop bag I am HEARING. When we accent His humanity, without denying His divinity (which He basically put in escrow with the Father while here on earth), we create a problem. And that would be? If He could DO it, BE it, why can’t we. Are we not the sons of God as well? Isn’t that what Paul tells us in Romans? Isn’t that what the Psalmist told us in the Old Testament?
Let’s go one better than NIKE! Let’s BE IT as well as just DOING IT!
