Good morning all,
The word of the day is “context,” inspired by Pastor Khristi
Adams’ message in APU chapel the other morning. JC was the master of context.
He always knew where he was and the environment of each setting. It’s pretty
amazing that no matter where the Savior ministered, he always had the right
thing to say or do. I mean, think of all the smart peeps like the Pharisees and
Sadducees that constantly tried to stump him. Take for instance the following
passage:
“One Sabbath, Jesus was strolling with his disciples through
a field of ripe grain. Hungry, the disciples were pulling off the heads of
grain and munching on them. Some Pharisees reported them to Jesus: "Your
disciples are breaking the Sabbath rules!" Jesus said, "Really?
Didn't you ever read what David and his companions did when they were hungry…”
~Matthew 12:1-3
JC went on to let all the haters know exactly why his
actions were correct. Here is the thing – he knew that peeps were always going
to be looking at him. He could not go anywhere without having to defend himself
against those who did not like what he was about. Here is my question: Do you
know the different contexts that you are in each day? As a Christian you are
always subject to peeps looking to see how you live and act. My prayer for you
today is that you understand God’s great calling on your life to witness to
others, in any context.
Praying for you,
mo
