Good Monday morning! Time to get back to it after a nice weekend. What are the differences between Jesus and this world? One that I have heard is that some think we can cure poverty. We know that Jesus said the poor would always be with us. Religions abound that provide a path to sanctification through human effort. Jesus said that all human effort accomplishes little. Here is one we hear all the time in the world: believe in yourself! Jesus tells us to believe in Him and give up our selves. The world would have us strive for wealth, power, fame, or physical attributes. Jesus calls us to seek first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness. In the world we are called to love those who love us with no guidance as to who is to start this love in the first place. Jesus lets us know that God loved us before we were even aware of life or the world. We could continue citing examples of the difference between Jesus and the world we now live in. However, all of this points to our being set apart in Him. Through the sanctifying action of the Holy Spirit and through our own conscious decisions as our minds are made new, we will step apart from the world.
Sadly, I must remind you that it is time for you to go to work. :-) I have my own work to do and God will bless us in this. Have a great day in Jesus!
