Other than pointless threats, I have never had my life threaten.
Now I remember fighting with my siblings as kids and saying things like this, but there was never truth behind the statement.
Having your life threaten is something I have never experienced.
This is usually something that happens to famous people.
I remember Jesse Owens, Jackie Robinson, Martin Luther King Jr., US presidents and so many famous people whose life was threatened.
Is your life worth being threaten?
Man, that just sounds weird.
Is endangered because of something you believe in full hardily.
What’s worth living for?
What’s worth dying for?
People were trying to kill Jesus.
Others wanted him to do more miracles and be in front of the people because they did not believe him.
Jesus told them this in John 7:6-8…
“My time is not yet here; for you any time will do. The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil. You go to the festival. I am not going up to this festival, because my time has not yet fully come.”
What do you stand for?
Jesus stood for something amazing and he was not liked by the certain people because of it.
This is what I stand for…
· Jesus· The Bible
· My loving and beautiful wife
· My kids
· Friends
· And other loved ones
· The Church and all its flaws
· My Church family
· The underdogs whether in sports or in real life.
· MSU
· Lions, Red Wings, Tigers and Clippers.
We stand for a lot, but is there anything we stand for that is threatening our life right now.
I stand for my faith.
Standing for our beliefs is different in the US compared to other countries.
Your life can be in trouble if you admit you are a Christian in certain countries of the world
I believe Jesus is the way the truth and the life.
He was killed so I could truly live.
Jesus was hated for what he stood for.
With faith today, do we stand for what others don’t like?
Being a Christian is a challenge to live our faith out.
It’s easy to put faith on a backburner and believe on Sunday.
It’s a challenge to be on the forefront of your faith and what you stand for.
A question was once brought to me that is a struggle…
Is what you are doing worth Jesus dying on the cross for?
That question hurts.
What is a greater purpose.
A movie I just love is “To Save a Life.”
In the movie a character Chris says this…
“He fills our lives with purpose and passion, if we just let Him... And the best part of the journey, is that the God of the universe, sometimes allows us to play a part in changing the world”
What is a life worth living for?
Have a great day.
