JULY 25 – WHY?


Others come to manipulate and destroy lives; kill others, while pursuing selfish gain. I am here so that each of them can have life; full, complete life in every way. My role, like the good shepherd is to give my everything – even my life – for other people. (John 10: 10-11)

                   Why are you placed in a position of authority and responsibility? If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, and you say like Paul that Jesus is living in you and animating your life, there is only one reason. If Jesus is living in and through your life, His purpose is to, “give everything – even your life – for others.” Your purpose then, is to use all of what you have been given to make a difference; to help others find that, “full, complete life.”

                   Jesus was always clear about the cost of following Him. If you follow Jesus you must regard the Lord God as your Father, and you must be willing to give up any claim to ownership of anything He places in your hands. You must recognize that you may lose everything if you obey Him, and you may lose connection with everyone you hold dear. If you are willing to give in this way, God can use you in his transforming work.

                   Use what you are given to bring others to Jesus and the life He offers.
