Matthew 10:39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
It is time to find our lives in Christ.
Revolution is:
Compassion - Love for our neighbors. Sharing the Gospel with all that we meet. In our words and our actions. Caring for the needs of those we encounter. Do our words and actions toward others reflect a life found in Christ?
Commitment - To the youth ministry, to the church, to Christ. For too long we have found our lives in this world and not in God's. We must find our lives in Christ. Do your calendar, schedule, activities...reflect a life found in Christ?
Church - It's the bigger church. Not just youth group, but getting up Sunday mornings to be with the larger church. It is coming to Lent suppers, pancake breakfasts, and church picnics. You are a part of the body of Christ!
The Cross - It's all about Jesus. Everything we do - the fun, the tough, the retreats, the Bible studies, all of it is in response to the great love and sacrifice of Christ.
Where do you find your life?
