Good morning all,
The word of the day is “restive.” The more I read the Bible I understand that
Jesus had a pretty tough time in his ministry. This is pretty humbling because
much of the time we think that we've got a tough life, but in all reality it's
pretty simple. However, Jesus came to many points in his ministry where people
questioned what he was doing. At one point even, there were a bunch of people
that wanted to leave. After these people did so he asked a question to the
others who were still there…
From this time many of his disciples turned back and no
longer followed him. “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked
the Twelve.
~Jn. 6:66-67
As you can see, this is a pretty important part of Jesus
ministry. My question is: can you imagine teaching a bunch of people and
investing in them for such a long time and then they just give up on you? Some
of us have experienced that our lives with friends, or even family. My prayer
for you today is that you do not become restive, or unwilling to go on, in your
relationship with the Savior. Fads will come and go, but Jesus is always there.
He is a constant in our lives. He is always there for us, and so we should
always be there for him.
Praying for you,
mo
