Bob Christopher blessed us with his lecture tonight, using one of my favorite analogies of the mason jars. He pointed out scripture that states we have been sealed with the promise of the Holy Spirit. What God seals, doesn't come unsealed. The blood of Jesus cleansed us once and for all; making us ready to receive His life. All too often, we never get passed the cleaning. We can wash that mason jar over and over again, to where it's diamond clean, but unless we fill it with something, it's useless. We've all been cleaned, thanks to the Blood of Jesus, but we've not all been filled with Life. If we can never accept the fact that we've been totally cleansed by Jesus, how will we ever come to Him for Life? We'll simply just keep washing the proverbial mason jar over and over again.
Interesting comment was made. Christianity is definitely an exclusive religion. No other founder of other religions make the statement that "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the father, except through me" Most religions attempt to be tolerant of other faiths. Christianity draws the proverbial line in the sand. No middle of the road. What will you do? Will you accept the life of Christ? Or will you say, "no thanks"?
What will your decision be?
