Good morning all,
The word of the day is “paladin.” Because of the way that
the Old Testament talks about the Messiah to come, people were expecting
something very different than Jesus. Some had claimed to be the Messiah both before
and after Jesus came to this earth. However, Jesus totally threw everybody for
a loop when he came preaching the stuff that he did. Although most people were
looking for a great military leader to deliver them from the oppression of the
government, Jesus came with a different tactic and mission in mind.
“You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You
are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for
this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of
truth listens to me.”
~Jn. 18:37
My question is: are you on the side of truth? I think that's
a pretty deep question and, like all of the questions that Jesus asked, is one
that must be pondered. One of the cool things that I love about Jesus is that
he never ceases to amaze in keeping us on our toes. It doesn't matter how many
times you read the Scriptures, there is always something new and a point that
is to be made in our lives. It's like when you read the Bible and close it and
think to yourself, wow that is exactly what I needed to hear. My prayer for you
this morning is that you are on the side of truth and ready to make a
difference for the Messiah. People were expecting a paladin, or the champion of
a cause, but what they got was much, much, more.
Praying for you,
Mo
