In honor of this National Sons Day, let\u2019s celebrate our sons while we are talking about the Son of the living God: Jesus. Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. Plain and simple. If I asked you what your thoughts would be when you hear the name Jesus what would you say? What comes to mind? Do you think about the story in the Bible where Jesus fed 5,000? What about the last night he spent with the disciples when he washed their feet? Or maybe do you think about the crucifixion? It\u2019s an interesting question. But it\u2019s something that we should really look at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus performed several miracles that we read about in the Bible. And if you look closely at them, I think you can find a very common theme to them. Jesus was serving others. He was placing their needs in front of his own. He was lowering himself below others. Setting the example on how to truly serve other people. If we follow his example, then others should be able to see his light through us. There should be no question. Our families. Our friends. Our coworkers. People in the community. They all should be able to see him through us. It should be so visible, that they would want to have the same hope that we have. That\u2019s the hope that comes from Jesus. And that\u2019s important because\u2026there are people that we encounter every single day that do not know Jesus. Read that again! They don\u2019t know Jesus. We might be the only people to ever share Jesus with them. Wow! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So as we celebrate our sons on this National Day, let\u2019s remember Jesus, the Son of the living God. Let\u2019s remember his examples. His examples of loving and serving others. His examples of being hospitable. His examples of humility. Let\u2019s remember his miracles. It\u2019s fine to be in awe of those. But let\u2019s don\u2019t lose track of way he performed them. Let\u2019s find ways to show others who Jesus is. Let\u2019s find ways to show others the love and hope that come from him. I know it\u2019s a heavy burden to bear. It\u2019s a heavy burden because we might be the only people to ever talk about Jesus to someone who doesn\u2019t know him. But while we might view it as a burden, let\u2019s think of the \u201cburden\u201d of the cross. Why that was done. That should be enough motivation for us. And don\u2019t forget this very important point: Jesus loves you. He always has. He always will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
