Second Corinthians 5:14,20
“FOR CHRIST’S LOVE COMPELS US……..WE IMPLORE YOU ON CHRIST’S BEHALF: BE RECONCILED TO GOD.”
IS CHRIST’S LOVE REALLY COMPELLING US?

I REMEMBER………..
This is what they said about a well known pastor in Germany:
“HE IS ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT THE LORD JESUS!”
What are people saying about ME? What are they saying about YOU?
Is it a ‘no win’ situation?
We were sitting around the kitchen table and in the course of our conversation I said something like this, “You cannot win, either people feel sorry for you or they envy you. Successful people are envied and non-achievers are pitied.” Nobody said anything contrary to that. So it is probably true.
And………. we are all on the same boat.
The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 4:4 (easy to remember)
“And I saw that all labour and all achievement spring from man’s envy of his neighbour. This too is meaningless, a chasing after wind.”
