HOW TO LIVE FOR CHRIST

Do good to all people no matter what they do to you (Galatians 6:10). Christ is our example of doing good (Acts 10:38). We must follow in His steps (1 Peter 2:21).

Bless and love your enemies (Matthew 5:44). Christ was hated, mocked, spat upon, beaten...yet He prayed, “Father, forgive them” (Luke 23:34). When we do this, we have the mind of Christ (Philippians 2:5).

Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick (Matthew 25:34-36). Christ went about helping the downhearted (Matthew 9:35). By us doing this (especially to the brethren), it is the same as us doing it to Christ (Matthew 25:40).

Count others better than yourself (Philippians 2:3). This is truly being Christ-like. When we do this, we are serving as Christ did selflessly (John 13:4-5).

Put the kingdom (church) first in all things (Matthew 6:33). Jesus died for the church (Acts 20:28); we need to live for it. Put Christ’s body above all earthy things.

This is Christianity. Do these things with all your might (Ecclesiastes 9:10). Be steadfast, always abounding in the work of the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58).

JESUS, LORD OF LORD'S

Jesus is so many things, a perfect gift is He
He was God's sacrificial lamb, that day on Calvary.
He is the light in this dark world.He is the Bread of Life,
He is the One whom we should trust.He's God's one sacrifice.

He's also the good Shepherd, He'll always know His own.
If He is ever by our side, we won't have to walk alone
He's our Intercessor, when we go to God in Prayer,
We never need to doubt at all, He'll always be right there.

He is the Way, the Truth, the Life, There is no other way.
Let's obey God's only begotten Son, and follow Him every day.
The thoughts of others we cannot know, But our God in heaven above,
Knows the thoughts of every man, whether they're evil or filled with love.

THERE ARE LITTLE BEARS IN THE WOODS, TOO

Old timers tell the story of two men who were talking on the street. One was a big, muscular fellow, and the other was small in stature. Admiring the size and strength of the big man, the smaller fellow said, “Boy, if I was as big as you I wouldn’t be afraid o’ nothing. Why, I’d go out in the woods and find me the biggest bear there and I’d tear that big bear limb from limb.” The big guy looked down at him and said, “There’s a lot of little bears in the woods, too!”

We can’t all be the biggest, the strongest, the fastest, or the tallest. We might not all have a great speaking voice or an extensive network of friends to draw upon. But what we do have can be used for the Lord!

Jesus summed this fact up perfectly when He told the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30. The master in the parable left money (talents) with each of his three servants and then went on a journey. “And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability…” (Matt. 25:15). When he returned the first two had each doubled what was left to them. But the third servant did nothing with what he was given.

Let us remember that we may not have all the resources we would like to serve the Lord, but what we do have belongs to Him, and He wouldn’t have given those resources to us if we were not able to “double it!”

So the next time you feel discouraged and think you can’t accomplish the same tasks others can, remember there are a lot of little bears in the woods, too!
