What Will You Do With Jesus???

It is important that we are close to Jesus in our walk. Each day we should focus ourselves on three main goals:

1. Walking with Jesus
2. Waiting for Jesus
3. Watching for Jesus

Walking with Jesus: Luke 24:13-25 / Luke 24:27-32 How consistent is your walk? Do you strive each day to be closer to Jesus, to have him by your side each step of the way?

Amos 3:3 - That verse makes a lot of sense if you think about it. Do we walk with people that are like us, or do we walk with those that we have nothing in common with? Of course we choose to be around those that are like us... it is the same way with fellowship with Jesus. You must be likeminded to walk closely.

1 Corinthians 7:17 - It is important that you walk in the calling that you are given. Your walk will not be the same as your neighbor's and you must be okay with that.

Colossians 2:6 / Galatians 5:16 / Galatians 5:25 - These verses all enforce the importance of being likeminded with Jesus. The Kingdom of God is a "bridal relationship". You need to give Jesus the respect that you would give to a spouse...strive for that closeness. Being close with Jesus makes you long suffering and compassionate. It isn't always easy - but the rewards are worth it!

Waiting for Jesus: Luke 19:10 / Luke 19:12 - Jesus wants us to take our gifts that God has given us. He wants us to grow those, to expand upon them. If Jesus gives you a gift that isn't used, it is like you are ignoring a blessing that has been bestowed upon you. You must be busy with the Lord's work while you are here on this Earth. Idle hands are the Devil's tool, just make sure they are busy with the right things!

Acts 1:8 - Be cheerful and let your joy enrich the lives of others. If you are a true believer that is filled with the spirit you will also be filled with the abilities to represent God in this world. Let your actions speak for Him and always live like Jesus is coming today.

Acts 4:31 / Luke 8:40 - Be vigilant, be ready, be waiting... always waiting for Jesus.

Watching for Jesus: Luke 21:25 / Luke 21:40-44 - Matthew 24:36 No man or woman, no angel nor demon knows when Jesus will return... but they all know that He WILL return.

Don't while away your time. It is up to you to watch - be the watchman for yourself, for your family and for your friends. Think of all those you are responsible for - all those you have the chance to save with just spreading the Gospel.

Earn it, work for it, yearn for it. Be ready, watchful and vigilant - always watching for Jesus.
