How often do we actually give our best. Do we do only what is necessary, or do we give our all. When christ was whipped, and nailed to a cross he could have easily called on warrior angels and gotten out of it...but he gave his best, he gave his all. We don't deserve the grace and love he poured out on calvalry. He gave his best to us, shouldnt we give him ours?!
Luke 6:43-49 NLT
“A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. A tree is identified by its fruit. Figs are never gathered from thornbushes, and grapes are not picked from bramble bushes. A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart. “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins.”
So I again ask, do you give him your best, or your scraps? In his presence I give him my all, all that I have, all that is in me. In his presence I am a new creation, the old me is dead...the new me is alive in christ! Are you?
