FAVOURITES?

“Jesus loves you! But I am one of his favourites.”

Maybe you have seen that sticker on the bumper of a car. I have not yet, but I have thought and even said that I am one of God’s favourites. I think I also heard once a famous guest speaker saying that he is one of God’s favourites.

"ALIVE IN CHRIST"

“ALIVE IN CHRIST”

The WarCry is The Salvation Army magazine and each issue has right at the beginning a Bible Verse in English and Maori.

In one of the latest issues the verse was Acts 10:34:

“God plays no favourites! It makes no difference, who you are or where you’re from – if you want God and are ready to do as he says, the door is open.” The Message

Acts 10:34 says very clearly that “God plays no favourites!” What now?

Maybe a better way is to say that I am a special object of God:

1. I am a special object of God’s concern.

2. I am a special object of God’s attention.

3. I am a special object of God’s purpose.

“I AM ALIVE UNTO GOD.”

“Three things …”

The book “Smile, laugh, and live the Abundant Life,” is compiled by Ernie Klassen. He used to be my Bible school teacher many years ago. Towards the end of the slender volume he is writing:

“Three things I would like to tell you before I end this booklet:

1. Read the Bible every day.

2. Pray every day – talk to God like a father, He understands.

3. Tell others about what Jesus has done in your life.”

Are we doing those three things?

(While walking today on Commerce Street here in Kaitaia with someone from the other end of the world to a lodging place, I had the opportunity to tell what the Lord Jesus Christ has done in my life.)
