About-Him Devotional 4-28-2001
 
Last week we used Luke 9:23-24 as our text. It stated that a condition of being a disciple was to take up our cross and be willing to die for Christ. The only was to have true life is to lose our present life in Him. Jesus continues:
 
Luke 9:25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
 
These are the words of Jesus and we should take them very seriously. Our eternal destiny depends on believing His Word, and doing His Word. The context shows:
  • The only true life is in Jesus.
  • We can have all that the world has to offer and be eternally lost.
  • He is coming again.
  • If we accept, confess and practice the Words of Jesus, He will acknowledge us at the day of judgement.
Humor
 
When the employees of a restaurant attended a fire safety seminar, they watched a fire official demonstrate the proper way to operate an extinguisher.

"Pull the pin like a hand grenade," he explained, "then press the trigger to release the foam."

Later an employee was selected to extinguish a controlled fire in the parking lot. In her nervousness, she forgot to pull the pin.

The instructor hinted, "Like a hand grenade, remember?"

In a burst of confidence she pulled the pin ... and hurled the extinguisher at the blaze.
 


Keep Looking Up!
