The Revelation Of Things To Come: Setting Your Mind On God’s Interests

Greetings everyone, and may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. We will be in Matthew 16 today. Jesus’ disciples, Peter included, were always thinking of their own wellbeing, from what they were going to eat, to self preservation. Even though Peter figured out that Jesus was the Messiah, he was appalled at the thought of Him dying. Because just like us, he was looking for the easy way. We often say we want to follow Jesus, up until He calls us to do something that we aren’t comfortable with. Follow Jesus, except if He goes into East St Louis. Tell 50 people about Jesus, except that one of them may beat you up or kill you. Give to a ministry, but that also means that you will miss that car payment. Being obedient might mean facing trials and difficulties, but it also means that souls will be saved. It’s human to worry about self preservation, but our main priority should always be for the Gospel.“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20You can reach us at facebook.com/hbchillsboro.
