We want them to see Christ in us and love him (and thus incidentally approve of us). But we know they may be blind to Christ and resistant to Christ. So they may think of us just what they thought of him. "If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household!" (Matthew 10:25). Jesus wanted men to admire him and trust him. But he did not change who he was in order to win their approval. Nor can we. <br /><br />Yes, we want people to see us with approval when we are displaying that Jesus is infinitely valuable to us, but we dare not make the opinion of others the measure of our faithfulness. They may be blind and resistant to truth. Then the reproach we bear is no sign of our unfaithfulness or lack of love.Ikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09595879576794400791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502171450450034535.post-55573205317380598692010-02-05T21:29:50.973-05:002010-02-05T21:29:50.973-05:00may they see me as a jesus freak and may I wear th...may they see me as a jesus freak and may I wear the label proudly.<br />DCTALK was one of my daughters favorite Christain bands a s a teen.Diane Marie Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179288189765350548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502171450450034535.post-18369335304952519902010-02-05T10:20:45.516-05:002010-02-05T10:20:45.516-05:00i didn't realize this was a real song -- i tho...i didn't realize this was a real song -- i thought it was just the intro to a klove mission moment of sorts!Pranayama mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720061810198398947noreply@blogger.com
