Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty of all.” – Mother Teresa
FIRST
An invitation and a command.
First of all the invitation, which I find in our local paper on the front page at the bottom on the right (The Northland Age, Tuesday, May 27, 2014).
The BRIDGESTONE tyre centre here in Kaitaia advertises:
“Need tyres? See us first.”
The invitation reminds me of the command in the Bible, where the Lord Jesus Christ says:
“But seek first his KINGDOM and his RIGHTEOUSNESS, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:33).
HIS KINGDOM
The first goal of a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ is seeking the kingdom of God, the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 6:33
That means two things:
1. Conforming to the will of the Lord Jesus Christ.
First Thessalonians 4:3; Hebrews 10:7.
2. Recognizing the sovereignty of the Lord Jesus Christ over everything.
“The kingdom of God may be thought of as a world-wide family of God’s children who, under the Lordship of Christ, will attain everlasting bliss.” (20th Century Bible Dictionary)
Revelation 5:9
HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS
“In the New Testament God manifests His righteousness in his dealings with sinful men by His gracious actions through Christ to justify and save all who respond in faith to His redeeming work.” (20th Century Bible Dictionary)
If we don’t follow the invitation mentioned at the beginning we may lose a certain amount of money, but if we don’t follow the commandment of the Lord Jesus Christ we lose everything.
