JESUS SPEAKING
“For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of Him who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6: 38 – 40)
INSPIRED THOUGHTS
Accomplishing the perfect will of God was always Christ’s primary purpose. Every word He spoke, every miracle He performed, and every message He preached, were all precise manifestations of God’s desires. For those who have accepted the gospel and have been reborn, an overwhelming hunger to fulfill God’s wishes in the present time will become paramount.
As individuals grow older they begin contemplating how their assets might be passed down to their children. Many will record a ‘last will and testament;’ a written document that outlines exactly how they want their valuables to be distributed. If an individual suspects their children might argue or fight over their inheritance, they may choose to appoint a trusted person to be the ‘executor’ of their will. In this case, someone still living is given the task of making sure the will is followed to the letter. If anyone contests the will, an executor will appear in court on behalf of the deceased and make certain that their will is carried out.
Like any good ‘executor,’ those who follow Christ are tasked with carrying out the will of God in this world. We must never deviate from the accomplishment of His desires. We must speak only His truth, no matter how challenging the circumstances might become. If we are committed to spreading the pure gospel, without alteration or compromise, then we will endure persecution, hatred and contempt.
“Lord Heavenly Father may we always do what is pleasing to You. May we spread Your gospel message without changing it in any way. May all of our words and deeds be accurate reflections of Your perfect will. Fill us with your Holy Spirit Lord, that we might be strengthened and prepared for the ministry. We love You Father, we praise You, and we thank You, and we ask and pray all of these things, according to Your will, in Jesus Christ’s name we pray. Amen.” God bless all of you!
