10-1-2020 – A Word for the Wise – The Jesus Encounter
When a person meets Jesus he is changed forever. There is no way a person can walk away from the Lord without feeling different. He may not accept the Master for a variety of reasons but that encounter will never leave him. No one ever had a higher view of man. The manner in which he flings commands, launches challenges, or invitations.
Notice how much of Jesus’s teaching consisted of imperatives and finally the great imperative “You must be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
However, what purpose is there to issues commands, challenges, or invitations if there is no response? Jesus demanded a response.
In fact Jesus assumes that every person, no matter how high or low, is able to respond in some manner and he set out to get it even if he had to die .
Jesus could see in us tremendous potential, so much so that he told us that we would do even more than he. Really? What impossible thing have you missed or accomplished today?
