The family business

25 October  2012  

1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming.

The complex question that you need to answer is whether Jesus abides in you, does He live in you, with you and all things we share with Him? Because if Jesus does live in you, then all that you do and say is related the constant awareness of His presence in all things. It is in this that we grow in confidence that when He appears again we will not be ashamed of who we are, because who we are is Jesus in the world.

We are the children of God and as children we are in the Family business, the business that Jesus taught His disciples to be about and through whom we have been taught. This business is to promote the will of the Father on earth and bringing, hope, love and encouragement to others to do the same. We have faith that Jesus rose from the dead and dwells in us in and through the Holy Spirit and so we are about our Father’s business each and every day. When Jesus returns He will find us going about His business not our own.

Be encouraged today to be about the Family business.
 
David
