Hands On
October 9, 2020
Jesus’ ministry was hands on, touching and healing all sorts of people. God extends His hands to us, willing to work through the dirty mess we’ve made in our lives. When people come into our lives that God calls us to minister to, we need to be willing to get messy and be hands on.

Leaven, or yeast, can be used for two different teaching analogies. It can represent evil in forms of added religion, complaining, disputing or disobedience where a little in one person can affect the whole Church. On the other hand, we as Christians are supposed to be leaven in the world, infecting the world in a good way for the Kingdom of God.

God has made the way through His Son for us to be in right relationship with Him. When we, as His creation, are far from Him, He is missing us and calling us back to Himself. Since our decision to follow Him has an effect on everyone around us, we must make sure that we have established a relationship with Him to begin with and are continuing to follow Him everyday.

God’s kindness leads us to a godly sorrow about our sin that should always follow with repentance. When we truly repent, we don’t go back to doing the same thing but rather we make a change in our lives with God’s help and strength. Once change is made we can experience fellowship with God.

The Old Testament people had to make continual sacrifices for their sins, but the guilt of their sin never went away. When Jesus came and died on the cross, His sacrifice was the final sacrifice needed to not only offer us forgiveness but to clear us of the guilt that our sin brings forever.

The story of Peter sharing the Gospel with Cornelius, a gentile, is an example to us that God will sometimes stretch us to break traditions for His purpose of reaching others. We must make sure to be listening to God and not going off and doing things on our own. The people He calls us to reach and the places He calls us to go may stretch us, but everyone is in need of Him, even ourselves.

The story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead showed the disciples that even death cannot stop Him, yet when He did and was placed in a tomb they doubted what He had promised. Nothing is impossible for God to do in our lives and we need to remember that and trust Him.

Our lives change when we are broken over our sin and we experience God’s forgiveness when we repent. Then we need others to help us put the pieces together and show us how it looks to live the Christian life. Because of others helping us, we can get to a place of being able to help others who feel like they are in pieces.

The Bible tells us that everything in creation is held together by God and He is present in every place. There is nothing that we can do to get away from Him, so when we finally surrender to Him He begins to live inside of us through His Spirit. Once He is inside of you and you are saved, you can never lose Him and He will always be with you.

Because of Christ’s death on the cross, we have all been given the grace and forgiveness needed to be accepted by God as His children. There is no sin too great to be covered by His grace. Once we experience His grace in our own lives, we can share that with the hurting people around us.

The Bible is filled with instruction for all of God’s people to turn from sin and follow Him. We cannot follow God, carry on a relationship with Him and worship Him with our lives when we are continuing down the path of sin. We must change our mind about our sin, turn completely away from it and toward God so that we can truly follow Him in the right direction.
