DECEMBER 23 – VALUES MUST BE TAUGHT


Therefore (because God’s unchanging law is forever), anyone who dismisses the least one of these, God’s laws, and teaches other people to do the same thing – that teacher will end up being last in God’s realm. But, the person who pursues right-living and teaches others to do so, will be great in that kingdom. (Matthew 5:19)

                   You will teach your people something. Remember, they are listening to you, looking for clues and creating a mental picture of what is important. Jesus gives you the two alternatives you can choose. You may decide to treat some or all of what is important to God as unimportant, displeasing God. If so, you’ll finish last. Or, you can pursue what He gives you diligently, working to communicate clearly and consistently that everything God says is important. Then you will please God.

                   Jesus says here, “Obeying God, obediently, and helping others understand what to obey, how to obey, and the importance of obeying God, obediently – That is the way to greatness.” Since Jesus included teaching others in His metric, you may want to be intentional about that work as well.

                   Follow the values God gives you. Teach the values to your people. Become great in God’s eyes.
