March 27th, 2014 by Pastor SolleyPhil 2:21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.
We live in a very selfish world today, a world that is concerned with self more than anyone or anything else, a world that has engulfed the Christian into this type of thinking and action as well. I know an individual who in over 60 years never spent a night in a hospital, enjoyed almost perfect health, and then an illness struck. All they could talk about was why this had to happen to them, why they were sick, what was going to happen to them. Sixty years were forgotten in a moment of time, 60 years of good tings, 60 years of blessings, 60 years were forgotten in a moment of time. People seek their own, not the things which are of Christ. Perhaps God would give them an opportunity to be used in sickness that they never had in health, perhaps through a Godly testimony they could point others to Christ, perhaps they could talk to people about the Lord that they would have never met were it not for the illness. Why not seek that which is of Christ and not self? But I can’t point at that person this morning because we all are like that today at least some of the time. Jesus wants us to be focused on the things of God, not on self. What is your focus this day?
