Running with Jesus
Luke 4:24 “And he said, Verily, I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
The people in Jesus home town were so familiar with Jesus they missed the Messiah and rejected him. They saw Him as Joseph son. Running with Jesus will cause us to be rejected too. I know from being in the ministry often times it is hardest to lead people you grew up with to the Lord. Also, it is hard to lead family members to Christ.
We can deal with the rejection by keeping in mind it will happen to us and it happened to Jesus. How sad we feel when often we can help other people but cannot seem to help loved ones like close family members, especially our own children. We have to place these loved ones into the Lords hands and trust Him to work in their lives.
Reject in the Greek means annul or make of no effect. Now that sounds like America we have rejected Him so we see Jesus has begun to be of no effect in our land. That is why we see evil so prevalent in our land. Anytime we reject God there will be severe consequences.
Oh Father, take our love ones and draw them back to You. Father we desperately need a revival in America, please have mercy upon us and help the world receive You and not reject You. Help us when we feel rejected to remember You were and You understand. No matter what, help us not give up and stay in the race.
The devil goes to church in the morning so grab your coffee or coke and join me!
