Cautious CardinalsIt takes some time before parent cardinals bring their babies into my yard. They tuck

them neatly away in an area behind my fence. I know they’re there because I can hear them cry. That’s my cue to put out

Challenging The Way We Think and Live in the Coming Week

Have you ever found yourself confused about the purpose of your lives or why God has placed you on this planet? In Acts 1:3-5 instructs us that we can know with 100% certainty that during the 40 amazing days between Jesus’ resurrection and ascension to heaven, that He appeared over and over again to hundreds of His disciples.

In Luke 24 we find Jesus and His disciples together on the Mount of Olives, This would be the same general area where He had been arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane. Not too far away from that mountain was the hill where He was crucified. A resurrected and very much alive Jesus had gathered His disciples together because He had a few last minutes instructions for them before His ascension.

As His disciples are gathering with Jesus, you can see that they are still confused about why Jesus had come. They asked him if now is the time that He is going to restore Israel to the grandeur it had enjoyed in the past. Jesus tells them not to think about those sorts of things. Instead now that He was about to leave them and He wants them to think about their God filled life purpose. As we know over the last 3 years, their purpose had been to follow Him, and to watch Him fulfill every single Messianic prophecy that was ever written about Him in the Old Testament. Their purpose was to watch Him suffer and die and rise from the dead. Very soon, with the Holy Spirit’s help, they would come to understand what all these things meant. For now, they were done, done following, done learning. Now, Jesus was going to give them a

new job, a new God filled purpose for their lives. In Luke 24:48 Jesus instructs them that: “You

are witnesses of these things.” The same truth is repeated in Acts, 1:8: “You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” You see that’s what Jesus called those disciples to do, that was their new purpose in life, to be living witnesses to the things they had seen and heard to all those that He would place on their paths.

As a Christian today, that’s our purpose too. So today if you need help figuring out what your God filled purpose is for your life don’t look down at the tempory things of this world. No instead look up, look up at the ascended Christ. That is where you will find your God filled life purpose, your joy, your strength and your peace.

In other words, God has put us on this planet to witness to others the truth or what Christ has done and who Christ is. He calls upon us to engage in conversations with people about the deeper things of life, discussions about absolute truths. It is a fact, Jesus Christ has come, He has died on a cross, He rose again, He ascended alive into Heaven, He has taken away our sins and the sins of all mankind. And someday He is coming back. That’s amazing stuff that we know. God wants each of us, all His followers, to be a witness of those truths to others.

Just maybe we should allow the real life example of Jesus to challenge the way we think and live in the coming week.
