Episode 225: Luke 20

Today's meditation is on Luke Chapter 20

Jesus said he only did what he saw the Father do and only said what he heard the Father say. I do my best to do the same and make God's Word the final authority in my life.

Father God sent prophets and teachers, but they were ignored and even killed. Then he sent his son to tell the good news about the Kingdom. He too was killed, crucified on a cross like a common criminal. 

He was the cornerstone who was rejected. The lamb who was slain so that I could have everlasting and more abundant life.

Even though I am not part of this world, while I am in it, I have a responsibility to follow the laws of the land, as long as they do not conflict with God's law. I respect those in offices of authority. I obey the laws. I pay my taxes. And I give God all the honor and the glory. I obey his commandments and I give him a tithe of my first fruits.

I am a child of God, a child of the resurrection. I serve a living God, and he is the God of the living, for to him and through Jesus all are alive. 

Jesus sits at the right hand of Father God and will remain there until all of his enemies have been made a footstool for his feet. 

In the meantime, I am careful to not be taken in by false teachers, nor do I seek the acceptance and respect of my fellow man. I do not covet the important seat in church or the place of honor at banquets. I do not pray long prayers in public, but separate myself and pray to Father God in private. 

I am content to humble myself before God and man. It is only his acceptance that I seek. 

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
