I remember as a kid always seeing the NBC “The More You Know” segments on TV.
They usually had some message and had the standard sound effect after them.
TV shows used to do this, GI Joe had great Public Service Announcements (PSA’s).
What do we know?
What do we fall short in?
There is a ton I don’t know about this world.
Why bad stuff happens to good people?
Why some live a life of luxury and other a life of servitude or pain?
Yet no matter where you are at with your life, there is Jesus.
Jesus reminds us of this in John 8:54-55…
“If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me. Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word.”
What do you glorify?
We can spent our life glorifying things that have very little meaning.
I know I struggle with glorifying things that don’t matter that much in the essence of the world.
I want a new PlayStation or Xbox, but what’s the value in this?
It’s not going to make me a better person or improve the world.
It would make me want to chill and get away from people.
Jesus was talking to a group of people who claimed to know God but were far from him.
He calls the people out and they weren’t happy about this.
What do you get called out on?
I know people that have rules in conversation like we can talk about everything but politics and religion.
I have to talk about my faith because it’s that important to me.
Knowing that people can go to heaven is special to me and seeing that change take place is worth everything to me.
I am not here in this life to glorify me, but to serve Jesus who is worth glorifying.
What do you glorify?
Is it worth glorifying?
Is it a small gain at the end or eternal life?
What do you think?
Have a wonderful day.
