Worthy
Jesus said if you love anyone more than Him you are not worthy of Him. As I look around at people and myself, we spend the vast majority of our time and money on other people. These people are “good” people. They are our spouses, children, grandchildren, friends, all people of our choosing.
When we assess how we spend our time, can we say we love Him with all our heart, soul, and mind? At least in my own life, I can’t say that”s true. If I don’t make Jesus Christ the most important person in my daily life, should it be any wonder that I feel estranged from the “God I love”? If I treated my wife like I treat God, she would get rid of me.
Life seems to eat you alive; everything just seems to keep coming at you. Obligations, we are just so busy. It becomes increasingly clear that knowing Christ versus knowing about Christ is of paramount importance. God says to seek Him and you will find Him. That takes time; lots of time. I spent a lot of time and money pursuing my wife. Being I declare that I am the bride of Christ, shouldn’t I spend that same amount of effort and time pursuing Him?
So we all have to ask ourselves if we are worthy. Worthy of what? The cross. If someone gave their lives to save ours, wouldn’t we be eternally grateful? Are we worthy of the blood that Christ shed? He died for us, in our place. And yet most Christians are ashamed to tell anyone of it. Maybe we’re just pretending to love Him. Maybe.
