It"s not about you!

Galatians 2: 20
20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.
And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Paul seemed pretty sure about his faith in Christ.
Are you sure of your faith in Jesus today?

Have you been crucified with Christ?
Is it He who lives within you, or haven’t you yet experienced death to yourself?

Did you know that the Romans tried to kill off Christianity, but they did a poor job of trying to squash it.
Every time they killed 10 followers of Jesus, 100 more came forward, and said… “Kill me too!!!”

The Roman Emperors threw 10 into the pit of lions, and 100 more begged to be sent the same route.
Back in those days, Christians were willing to live like Christians, and they were willing to die like Christians.

I don’t see that much anymore in the church.
We’re too much concerned with us being satisfied and dignified, than we are being crucified.

There is a time coming one day, when the church will be forced to stand up and show their true colors.
The blood of Jesus was what it took to start the church, and it will be the blood of His followers, that will help bring the church increased power.


When we start making the church about Jesus, and not about us, there might still be hope, for the hopeless state the church is in…
