THE PRESENT
MATTHEW 12:46-50
Matthew 12:46–50 (ESV): 46 While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him. 48 But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
Hi, Dear child of The Mighty God of the universe. Welcome to The Stable Sanctuary. The Bible text outlined above is an episode set in the year A.D 31 . Christ’s most intricate business was to seek and save people of all races, colour, creed , nationality and religion. He knew so well that He was The Word of God ; The word of life. Jesus Christ was such a busy person that even His own family members could not access Him easily ( verse 46) . He had to accomplish a lot of work within His own stipulated time frame. You and I are to engage ourselves in the intricate business of serving humanity effectively so as to bring honour to God our Great saviour. Our present day activities shall surely affect our future. Take time for Jesus Christ; He took time to die for you on the cross.
THE FUTURE
A glimpse at verses 48 and 49 shows Jesus Christ speaking to His disciples concerning the Divine Family of God. This is a family comprising all who accept Him and follow His teachings. Such is the uniqueness of a divine calling meant to draw all people to the acceptance of the Truth of the Word of God. One becomes a member of God’s Royal Family; a Kingdom of Kings and Priests ( Revelation 1:6) As young energetic people come to the Realisation of Truth, their lives change drastically as they align themselves to God’s Eternal Plan. This is because life is programmed in a tailored way to bring benefits to people and bring Glory to God. We need to set our objectives and life goals to attain God’s will concerning our destiny.
FAMILY DYNAMICS
Every person in the world is a product of a family. Jesus Christ came into the world through a family. [ Matthew 1:1-25] . It should be a high desire of every Young person to have a good family. Only Jesus Christ can help one to establish a good successful family. In this context, I may refer family dynamics to areas in life where one has to put much concentration for the sake of future generations. These may include:
- Good moral character
- Obedience to God’s will
- Working smart always
- Respect for people and their property
- Self discipline
Put in mind that whatever you do today, members of your generation shall do the same for hundreds of years to come.
THE FAMILY OF GOD
Hey, the most intricate business is what one does with one’s life Today. It shall keep on reccuring because history always repeats itself. The family of God is made up of smart brains who follow the the example of Jesus Christ; knowing well that they have a high destiny to cherish and protect. [ Check verse 50] Allow me to put it clearly to you that you are destined for God’s wonderful family. Sincerely, I urge you to stay put smartly in Christ Jesus. He knows how to navigate the present because the future is evidently known to Him. It is His most intricate business to save , sustain and bless you and your generation.
