There's something special about God's word that's always amazing,and
interesting which always make me fall in love with it as much as I
ponder on it.
This aspect of Jesus occured to me this morning which I think it's worth sharing.
The ministry of Jesus was without the presence of the Pharises.They're
religion police that constantly spy on Jesus where ever he goes.In
fact,on the cornfield,they're there and
you wonder why they still keep watch on him while on the field.I
realised that the pharises whose head was nothing but the book of law
would not stop causing trouble and rationalizing.
But this one
thing I discovered;the fact is just that,the Pharises are not void of
what the response of Jesus Christ would be,still they won't stop
engaging him in annoying questions,but no matter how annoying
they're,Jesus is always kind in teaching them and not resentful.But the
question that hits me hard was:why would they not stop coming even when
they know what Jesus' response(s) would be knowing fully that they can't
win him in the game? To this end,let's briefly see a simple lesson we
can stew out of this.
The life of Jesus is a classic prototype
to what christianity is all about.Eventhough,your friends know your
spiritual stand and fervency,that'd not stop them from coming to tempt
your rigidity.The fact that you are known by all and sundry to be a
spiritual chap,that is not a ticket for a temptation free life.Always
expect those temptations and test of biblical knowledge in a reoccuring
decimal.
If you teach about fornication,that doesn't mean that you will not be confronted with temptation on what you've taught.
But this very thing is germane to your ability to overcome the Pharises
that'd question your knowledge/faith,and that's your ability to be in
tune with the word of God and the power of the Holy spirit.You will
notice that,all the response of Jesus were so great that it's beyond
their ability to answer or give a reply.Do you think that Jesus' words
is just an ordinary one? No! It's a word given by the power of the Holy
ghost.And that's why you must not joke with the Holy spirit and the word
of God.
The fact that they know you'll not join the multitude
to do evil won't discouraged them from coming to you.An example would be
relevant here.In one of my exams,a teacher came to me,persuading me to
take an expo,even when he knew I'm strongly against such,yet he came.I
told him I can't do that,and he said that he knew I'd not.That you hate
evil desires of the world,won't stop them trying to entice you with
their words,mode of dressing and the likes.And if care is not taken,you
may fall for them.Jesus' knowledge is unsearchable for them because He
operates not in the flesh.
This is the simple charge friends,'even
when they know that you won't coincide with immoralities,that won't stop
them from coming' But hear what Paul told the people of
Thessalonia,'...Be alert and self-controlled'
I pray God'll help you to turn down the offer even when you've the opportunity to take it .
