One more important thing!
Posted by Lev/Christopher on November 19, 2009 at 7:53am in Inspirations / Devotionals
Mark 10:18-21 And Yah'shua said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, Elohim.Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. Then Yah'shua beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Yesterday, I shared from this same passage. But today, something even more powerful touched my heart about it -- and it was so humbling, I had to share it with you too.
Yes, it's true that we as humans tend to compare ourselves with one another and think highly of our good works. And it is true that not one of us is good by Yahweh's standards and that our good works are like filthy rags according to Isaiah. However, seeing all this -- Yah'shua beheld this man…. and loved him. "Yah'shua loved him," it says. And then, only then did he tell him the hard-to-swallow truth.
The Gospel is not just truth -- it is much more than that. It is the truth told in love.
When we share this Good News, must behold, and truly love the person with whom we're sharing it!
Even to those who hated Yah'shua, He told it in love. How much more should we be sharing that way with our friends and family?? Yah'shua told the truth in love and that's the way we should strive do it too.
Master, help us! We want to love one another as You have commanded! Give us hearts of flesh for our hearts of stone and help us to truly love one another, that your Name may be glorified when we speak your truth! We want to do great things for You! There's so much work to be done!
