4 Signs You Are A Disciple Of Jesus
June 5, 2019
He stood apart from the crowd, yet he wasn't aloof. He was warm, compelling, and controversial. His eyes could flash fire, yet they mellowed with affection. Children loved Him, yet others felt that His gaze went directly into their souls. His name was Jesus, and the way He approached things was so different from the way we build organizations today. Christ taught that a small group who were really dedicated to His cause could accomplish far more than could a vast army religious workers who were committed only to their own little kingdoms, their own egos.

"If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me" (Luke 9:23). Who was this one to make such a bold statement? He's identified in history as Jesus of Nazareth, but Nazareth was merely the place where He grew up. One day, Jesus put the question to His disciples, saying, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" (Matthew 16:13). Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God" (Matthew 16:16).

Few ideas in the scientific realm have ever been introduced without ridicule and unbelief. When men first suggested that the world was not flat and man could not sail off the end of the world, they were laughed to scorn. When Nicolaus Copernicus first suggested his theory of a sun-centered universe, he was so persecuted that he was forced to withdraw his hypothesis. When Henry Ford put his first automobile on the road, he was thought of as a fool who wasted his time on foolish inventions.

Have you ever had the experience of having to drive a considerable distance to an appointment; but, the vehicle that you are driving shows that the gas gauge is closer to empty than you would like? You are in a hurry—late for your meeting—so you decide to see if you can make it. The red warning light comes on. Then the fuel gauge starts to rest solidly on the empty mark, and your stomach grows tighter mile by mile. Perhaps you make it—and perhaps you don’t. And as the light stays on and the indicator sits on empty, you become more tense. When do you refuel?

Karl Crowe tells the story: A missionary Bible translator was working on a language that had not been reduced to writing when she came across a portion of Scripture which had already been translated into the language she was working on. She noticed that the word idinide had been used for the English word Savior. The word literally means "picker upper" or "one who picks up something." She thought, "This is definitely not the right word!"

What is the value of a human life? There is enough phosphorous in the human body to tip twenty-two hundred matches, enough iron to make a small nail, enough fat to seven make bars of soap (in some cases a few more than that); enough calcium to whitewash a chicken coop; enough sulfur to delouse a dog and enough sugar to fill a small bowl. But, is not life worth a great deal more than a few elements from a periodic chart?

You have only five minutes in the morning. Then you head for work, come home tired at the end of the day and fall exhausted into bed. Your conscience nags at you a bit and you really want to pick up your Bible and spend a few minutes reading. "But, can I really get anything out of this in five or ten minutes?" you ask yourself as you debate even bothering. Here are four tried and true guidelines which will help you. Make a note of these four words. They are 1) attitude; 2) observation; 3) interpretation, and 4) application.

Out of the mouth of babes come some of the toughest issues that ever confront theologians, to say nothing of Sunday school teachers or parents. For example, the question that my son, then five years of age, once put to me in rush-hour traffic: "Daddy, how did Jesus get to be God?" What struck me about the question was that we hadn't even been talking about the subject. Surprising as it may seem to you, that very issue was one of the first controversies in the early church. Did Jesus become God when He was born? Or rather was He always God and only appeared to be a man?

When the sky turns dark, your health fails, your marriage partner walks out on you, or you are fired from the job you hoped you would keep until retirement, your world gradually unravels. Paul's words, "In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus," seem to torment you. No matter how you try to put things together, it just doesn't make sense.

"Dear Dr. Sala," wrote a friend, "Would you have any suggestions to help people who have reached their eighties and feel they have nothing to live for? I admit feeling very useless at times. I am 82, in a wheel chair, and have little energy."

An eminent psychologist, Joseph Kreisler, recognized the importance of contentment from having observed problems of human nature from a professional viewpoint. Dr. Kreisler says, "If you wish to be miserable, think about yourself and what you want, what you like, what attention other people ought to pay you, and then you will find nothing will satisfy you. You will spoil everything you touch, and finally, you will make pain and misery out of everything God sent you."
