You Had ONE Job! 1/25/17
You Had ONE Job! 1/25/17




John 4:34 (KJV)
34  Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.  

How well does it stick in my mind!!!

YOU HAD BUT ONE JOB!!!

Several years ago, someone posted a picture of hamburger BUNS wrongly packaged see through container that contained hot dog BUNS-

YOU HAD BUT ONE JOB!!!

I thought about his many times over theses years since and especially so in these hotly contested political days.

MANY people, from too many walks of life, ignorantly showing their ignorance by speaking on things they have no idea of the what or how to do it better!!!

How correctly does our Bible declare:

Proverbs 29:11 (KJV)
11  A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

The old rock group BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD put it this way:

There's battle lines bein' drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speakin' their minds
Gettin' so much resistance from behind

(It's time we)
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's goin' down?

What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singin' songs and carryin' signs
Mostly sayin', "hooray for our side"

" MOSTLY SAYIN'-HOORAY FOR OUR SIDE!"

Jesus had but ONE goal/ONE PURPOSE:

He did not opine politically or seek power, fame or wealth:

John 4:34 (KJV)
34  Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

Jesus WELL knew what God had GIFTED Him with and:

" WHEN THE TIME WAS COME........

HE STEDFASTLY SET HIS FACE TO GO TO JERUSALEM!!!!!"

Luke 9:51 (KJV)
51  And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

Jesus NEVER allowed circumstances or personal comfort or the opinions of others to distract Him!

Jesus did not get caught up in gossip or speaking on things He had no expertise in and/or control over.

Jesus respected that not everyone was "on His side."

Luke 9:49-50 (KJV)
49  And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.  

50  And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.

I TRY not to give my opinion on "things of this world," ESPECIALLY on things "I have no EXPERTISE IN and/or CONTROL OVER.

Mistakenly, I failed to do that this week.

I am an avid sports fan, ESPECIALLY if my teams wins or is winning-remember:

" HOORAY FOR OUR SIDE!!!"

I posted a cartoon and caption about another sports team this I thought was funny with even a measure of truth.

THAT is NOT MY job or as Jesus would say, "my meat."

People do not read my sermons or follow my posts to hear MY political views or cheer for my sports teams!!

Believe it or not, there are both Democrat AND Republican Christians!!!!????

There are athletes on both teams that love the Lord and Glorify His Name through their God given abilities!!!!

My JOB/MY MEAT is as a Pastor!!!

Ephesians 4:11 (KJV)
11  And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;  

The mighty Apostle Paul said:

1 Corinthians 9:20-23 (KJV)
20  And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;  

21  To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.  

22  To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.  

23  And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.

TODAY, "FOR THE GOSPEL'S SAKE," become

" ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN, THAT (YOU) MIGHT BY ALL MEANS SAVE SOME!"

AMEN!!??

GOD BLESS YOU!
