built upon that foundation. JESUS came into this world to build and establish HIS
church. HE knew all that HE would have to suffer from before time began, and
loved us enough to come to earth to be ridiculed and die on that cruel cross at
Calvary.
HE lived HIS life as an example of how to live and what to do. HIS first example
was HIS baptism, though he was HOLY and sinless, HE gave us the pattern to
follow. Along with that example GOD the FATHER sent an example in the form
of a dove. The dove was a blessing from the FATHER, just as the HOLY SPIRIT
coming into our lives at baptism.
HE lived a life ridiculed by many, misunderstood by more, and followed by a few.
That is much the same for a true believer. Society doesn't understand us loving the
unloved. They don't understand how being a slave to JESUS, can be a freeing
experience. They see us hugging and praying with the outcasts of society just
as our SAVIOR did. They see us with the addicts, the prisoners, the broken, the
shut-ins, the handicapped, and wonder what compels those people to do that.
As CHRISTIANS, we are just following the example set by our LORD,
MASTER, CREATOR, TEACHER, and our GOD on how to bring others to
HIS kingdom. Society is looking for something different all the time. We have
found the difference they are searching for, but don't know it.
If you haven't given GOD a try, please do. If you have JESUS in your life and
aren't reaching out to others as you should, please do. If you've fallen away from
what CHRIST teaches, please come back. GOD still has a job for you.
MY wife and I pray daily that GOD will open our eyes to see what HE wants
us to see. To be what HE wants us to be. To go where HE leads. Please join us
in this mission to reach others for HIM WHO DIED FOR US.
