The Inconvenient Truth of Christianity
The Inconvenient Truth of Christianity
The more we seek after and desire the things of Jesus… the more His desires will become our own! (Christ-minded transformation)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 Corinthians 3:18 ~ …(we) are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inconvenient
1. not suited to YOUR comfort, purpose or needs
2. not conveniently timed
Truth
1. John 1:17 ~ …grace and TRUTH came through Jesus Christ
2. John 14:6 ~ Jesus answered, "I am THE WAY and the TRUTH and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Being a Christian has an inescapable INCONVENIENT TRUTH… which is to do JESUS STYLE MINISTRY! (merely wordplay... this is a GOOD thing)
* To PUT ASIDE our personal preferences, fears, and insecurities.
* In faith through the enabling of the Holy Spirit, EMBRACE a personal and communal (church) ministry that may:
- challenge the norm
- bring discomfort to the comfortable
- exchange the predictable for the unpredictable
How do we know? What does that look like? What can we expect?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Acts 20:23-24 ~ 23 I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. 24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once we receive… it becomes what we now have to offer! Let’s embark on a journey to find and show the Real Jesus! Spend time in the Gospels. See how Jesus did ministry and to whom he ministered. He was constantly inconvenienced! He didn't work off of a schedule, agenda, or appointment book. He sought to do and follow the will of the Father even if it meant dealing with the unclean (bleeding woman), sinners, tax collectors (Zaccheus), or the educated (Nicodemus) and prominent (Jairus) people of His time.
*This was inspired by the song “The Real Jesus” by the band DOWNHERE as found on their CD Wide Eye’d and Mystified.
