Facilitators and Self Vindicators



The true followers of
Jesus Christ are facilitators, disciple makers. They are concerned
about others, they want to bring others into fellowship with Jesus
Christ,. To them it is important that others would learn to hear His
voice, then to follow Him, that others would get to know Jesus Christ
for real, and therefore they do their utmost to bring others into
that close relationship with Jesus. They share their experience,
their testimony,and they do their utmost to help others to learn to
follow Jesus Christ.
Religious people are
self-vindicators. To them it is important that their voice be heard,
that their opinion be understood. To them it is important to justify
themselves and to justify their faith in their own salvation. They
are concerned about themselves. They are not concerned about other
people, other believers. They are not concerned about souls that are
being lost. You can often see it when you read the comments of people
that comment on video blogs. The true followers of Jesus Christ are
concerned about bringing the other people into that relationship with
Jesus whereas the religious people try to vindicate themselves. They
try to show off their Bible knowledge or express their own opinion.
They are arrogant and self-centered.
A tree is known by its
fruit. We should be concerned about the kingdom of God. We should be
concerned about people who are being lost every day. We should be
concerned about those who do not know the way, who do not know Jesus
Christ. We should be concerned about the approval of Jesus Christ,
not about our own status or our own recognition. We should not
vindicate ourselves. Jesus Christ vindicates each and every true
disciple. We do not need to defend ourselves. We do not need to
impress other people. All we need to do is to bring others to Jesus,
because we care, because we care for their souls, because we care for
the kingdom of God, and because the love of Christ has been poured
out in our hearts and we want to see the kingdom of our Lord and
Master grow.
Our concern is bringing
others to Jesus while we ourselves follow Jesus Christ and seek to
please Him every day.
May Jesus bless you.
