The Famous One!

The Famous One!

We, humans, are an interesting bunch :) We are constantly attempting to put ourselves in categories, ranks, groups - I’m this or I’m that...

The biggest pitfall of social media or any venue really that involves people - going to church, going to the store, going to work, is the tendency to compare ourselves with others - to begin the categorization process - They are this or they or that, what about me...

I love Jesus!

His call is to the “whosoever!”

This morning I am reminded of how He entered such a venue of people - a room filled with His disciples, and instead of comparing and contrasting, He wrapped a towel about His waist and one by one, went about the room washing their feet!

What an awesome servant Jesus was while on this Earth, and He is our prime example :) 

I want to encourage you today!

Are you born-again? Do you know Jesus as Lord and Savior? 

If so, the Bible says you and I have the mind of Christ!

We don’t have to compare ourselves with others - money, job, success, clothes, cars, house - we are accepted by the Best, who cares about the rest!!! (Pastor Jim)

Jesus’ call is not to people of prestige or poverty, His call is to the whosoever...

Every once in a while, I have to remind myself,

That I am who He says I am!

I can do what He says I can do!

And that my life is hidden in Him!

When I said yes to Jesus, I said no to self, to comparing and contrasting...

My call is simple, to be like Jesus!

He is Number One, He is the Famous One!

Venues of people are not for comparing, they are for serving - the next time you find yourself in one, whether online or in-person, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”

(Philippians 2:5-8) KJV

Remember: What you make happen for others, God will make happen for you!

In Christ,
