Something Precious
Jesus said,
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls.
When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.” Matthew 13:44-46.
For me this is what I feel about my faith in Christ Jesus, my faith in God. It is precious to me and I can get upset when men and women calling themselves Christians, followers of Christ Jesus do not represent Him correctly.
Sadly there are many out there who claim to be following and teaching about Jesus who are teaching things that are completely wrong. The apostle Peter warned about this saying,
"But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.
Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute."2Peter2:1,2.
The way I see it is we who do truly love and serve God. Who love and serve Christ Jesus must do our best to point those we witness to, to the truth God has shown us.
We must be faithful to present our faith in the best possible light without compromise.
Are you doing this?
Please think about it.
