Choose Christ Agenda
Text: _And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil…_ John 3:19
Jesus, by His death and resurrection, paid not only the eternal price for sin, that divine justice demanded must be paid; but also opened the door to a holy connection to the life and nature of God. Jesus once said, “For whatever is in your heart determines what you say." (Matthew 12:34, NLT). We are defined in this life by the choices we make. Those who choose to lay down their lives and follow Jesus are transformed from the inside out. Whether unbelievers pursue world agendas, true followers of Jesus Christ are moved by a very different agenda that pleases God. They may not be immune to the suffering and pain they see all around them, but they are driven by a higher ideal than just the selfish ambitions of power or pleasure. Those who make the choice for life, by laying down their life in service to Jesus Christ, are transformed by a divine connection with Him.
The more time we spend in Jesus' presence, the more selfless we become. A truly selfless and “Christ-agenda” person is the greatest threat to evil. All sin, no matter what form it takes, is a deed of selfish desire in one form or another. We must all make the choice for life or death. All of us are either on the road to heaven or hell, and it is not really so hard to discern which path we are on. The life we live from day to day gives mute testimony to who and what we are. Jesus says, “The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life” (John 10:10 NLT). Choose Jesus; choose life; chose salvation, not condemnation.
Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, I choose You over and over again. Use me for Your will. Help me to follow Your agenda in Jesus’ Name.
