1 Corinthians 9-10
from Daily Devotional With Murphy Eyenike Hosted by Murphy Eyenike
Would you have followed Jesus when he walked, lived and fulfilled his ministry? The majority would immediately claim; certainly. However, I am not so sure. My opinion is that the majority of Christians around today would have rejected Jesus just as the Jewish people did. They called him a wine bibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners (Luke 7:34). How many of us would truthfully have moved with that crowd? I am drawing this lesson from what we read here about the children of Israel in chapter 10, Paul says they all went through the same experience guided by the pillar of cloud and fire, they ate the same manna that came down from heaven and drank from a rock they never realized was Chris. However, they eventually rejected him appointing to make a golden calf that would lead them back to Egypt. Did they realize they were rejecting Christ? Is it possible that by the way we are living today, we are rejecting Christ like they did? Did I hear someone say, "God forbid", hmmm. My advise is the same as Paul's to everyone reading this; "these things happened to them as an example for us. They were written down to warn us who live at the end of the age. If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall." I pray that you will not fall. May you stand strong and complete in Christ. Amen.
