What Have You Done With God’s Son?

He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God – children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. – John 1:10-13

It really hurts when I read or hear people mock Jesus Christ simply because they do not believe and don’t understand why anyone with a brain will believe in a God they cannot see. Someone was actually bold enough to say the disciples were thick and that is why they followed and believed in Christ. He didn’t know which one will last – Christianity or rock or roll. That just sounds so silly even as I write it. Needless to say, he didn’t last. He expired well before Christianity! The people of God are still rocking on.

God’s message to believers is clear. Because we know Him and recognize and acknowledge him, we must give Him our complete love and devotion and extend this love to all people that come our way. As we believe in His name, we must live a lifestyle that demonstrates what we believe. We cannot be of the world in public in a desperate attempt to blend in and then proclaim the name of the Lord when we are behind closed doors. Conversely, we cannot shout the name of God in public and be an atheist in the home. We must make sure that we honor the name of the Lord in all that we do. As the Bible says in Matthew 25:40 – “whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me”: let’s take some extra time to extend the love of God to people around us.



On a daily basis, ask yourself the crucial question – what can I do for Jesus
