So I know the word, should I spread the word or just follow the word. Do I just keep what I know to myself? If I call myself a Christian what should I be doing as a follower of Christ? Does my life change or I just go through life changes? So many questions. Well, I just read Matthew 25 chapter and it seems that there are things I should be doing. In this chapter Jesus compares Heaven by giving us analogies. Basically letting us know that heaven is a place you do not want to let slip by because you will be one sorry individual if you do. First analogy describes the 10 virgins. 5 had oil in there lamp which means that they were prepared for the coming of the bridegroom. Since we know not what hour Jesus is coming we should always be prepared. We do not want to be like the other 5 virgins who's oil ran out and they missed the bridegroom's coming. No amount of pounding on the door could let them in.
It is interesting that when Jesus met his disciples and said follow me they immediately dropped what they were doing. They asked no questions and started to follow him. It's the same as knowing the word. Once we have learned truth there should be no hindrance on our part. To find Jesus is like finding the most beautiful and expensive diamond in the world. We cannot let it go. We cannot let him go. We cannot fall asleep on him because we will miss living with him for eternity.
So back to these questions, should I spread the word or just follow the word. Since the bible says that a woman should be quiet in the church I am quiet but I write this blog in hopes of changing lives. We all have questions. The only answer that I see is to seek Jesus Christ. God almighty says that we are to seek him while he still may be found. We are to seek him while we are young so that when we get old his word will not depart from us. What should I be doing if I am a follower of Christ? Well in Jesus time there were women who hung with his disciples and they also taught the word and were able to bring others to Christ.
I am not a pastor nor minister but I read the word often. As I look around this world and see the changes taking place I feel the need to let people know from my own experience that Jehovah is real. Jesus is coming back. We must be on guard because the antichrist is working endlessly trying to deceive many. Our only hope is to put our faith and trust in the almighty so that we are not deceived. So many people are dying, destruction seems to be all around us. There are Countries wanting to destroy other countries. This is not the time to sit back and take it easy. We need to fight the fight of faith. We need to be consistent in our walk because as Luke 9:62 says" No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God. Meaning, we cannot start out following Jesus and then go back to our old ways by missing the things we use to do. Following Christ is an everlasting process.
Matthew 13:18- 23 The parable of the sower......when anyone heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony ground, the same is he that heareth the word, and along with joy receive it; yet hath he not root in himself, but endures for a while: for when tribulation or persecution arise because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that receive seed among the thorns is he that hears the word; and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of Riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that hears the word, and understands it; which also bears fruit, and bringeth forth, some and hundredfold, some sixty,some thirty.
So let us bear fruit worthy of saving lives.
