Mark 11:9
What an amazing verse, I love this verse it is like God slipped this one in to remind us where we stand. "Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, "Hossanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"
If that doesn't get your attention I'm not sure you are alive. We,(the Christians of today ) are where we are today in our Christian faith because of all those who stood before us. They paved the way, fought the battles, died for the cause of Christ, left homes, families, health & wealth behind. To say they were committed is a bit of an understatment. Christians in Mills County, Texas are not persecuted, ridiculed, punished or belittled for our beliefs. Yet we do not live or proclaim, Christ the Lord, the Risen Saviour the one who can change the world for some reason. Instead we have enslaved ourselves to public opinion, what others might think and "this is uncomfortable for me" mentality. All of which renders us powerless to be what God has intended us to be. The point is we are placed here IN THIS TIME AND IN THIS PLACE TO POINT OTHERS TO JESUS CHRIST. We are not here to coast on what others have done.
We have the responsibility to pass on to others, those who follow us, the correct information & more importantly our relationship with Christ. It is all about Jesus Christ and who he is and what he has done for us all. We, my friends are literally standing in the gap between the past and the future. It is our responsibility, not someone elses, to boldly live and proclaim Christ to OUR world. It is time to "Man up" for our God & Saviour in our daily lives.
Because He Lives,
Butch
