Nose Up
May 1, 2014
Our sin nature that we're born into puts our lives in a nosedive. We have the choice to continue that way, sinning all the more because we're going down anyway or lying to ourselves thinking that we can fix it on our own. The truth is that only Jesus can give us the power to fly, so we must turn nose up and allow Him to work in us and through us to live the life God intended for us to live.

The Bible is like a letter written to us by God, and we need to treat it as such a valuable letter that we read over and over to learn more about Him. None of it will make sense unless we ask Him to reveal Himself to us through the Scripture, and when He does we can help others learn about Him as well.

While it is important to study Scripture, we need to remember that God doesn’t want to use us because of all the great knowledge we can obtain but rather so that He gets the glory through us. If you are humble and willing to do whatever He asks, you are qualified to do His work.

We all have certain dates in our lives that are great dates to remember as well as difficult dates. Rather than allowing Satan to rule over those difficult dates, we must remember the Spirit that God has given us – of power, love and a sound mind – and reclaim those dates to give them to the Lord. Out of every date in our lives, the most important one of all is the date that we choose to follow Jesus, knowing that it is His blood that covers our lives with His grace and gives us salvation.

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’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.

Jesus came to earth as a baby, breathing in our air, and He died on the cross fully human and God, breathing out his last breath. Because He rose again from the dead, He offers to breath into us new everlasting life that all we have to do is receive.

When Jesus was crucified, His last words that He spoke while hanging on the cross told the thief He would see him in paradise, told His brother to take care of His mother, spoke of his humanness in being thirsty, and finally proclaimed the completion of the payment for sin. Christ’s death was the full payment once and for all, taking all of our sin on Himself, and finishing all the was needed so that we may be free.

In order to feed our spiritual selves so that we do not starve, it is essential that we not only read the words in the Bible, but that we process them as well. We need other people in our lives to disciple us and show us how to chew on certain parts of Scripture so that we can be satisfied, and then we can help others.
