2 Corinthians 5:15 Says, "And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again."
Let me start off by saying to this morning that it is believed that there were about 5,000 believers during the time of Christ. Among those believers, it was thought there were three types. The largest number of believers were those who came to Jesus for salvation. They served Him little beyond coming to Him to receive salvation. A much smaller number, say about 500, actually followed Him and served Him. Then, there were the 12 disciples. These were those who identified with Jesus. They lived the life that Jesus lived. Each of these ultimately died in difficult circumstances. They experienced the hardships, the miracles, and the fellowship with God in human form.
Let me ask you this question family; If you had to say which group best represented your life, which one would you fall into - the 5,000 who simply believed, the 500 who followed and sought to implement what they were learning from the Savior, or the 12 who identified completely with the life and mission of the Savior? I want you to know that Jesus has called each of us to identify with Him completely.
My prayer this morning is that God will allow each and every one of us to walk as Jesus did and experience the power of His love in our lives so that others will see the hope that lies in you and me. Amen, amen and Amen. God Bless You All, Have A Great Godly Day in the Lord.
