A few days ago on the news there was a major traffic jam in the mountains of Colorado. The news showed pictures of all the cars stopped completely. But in the middle of it all, the newscaster pointed out a car with a large can attached to the top. This car wasn’t the same as the other cars. It was a car representing an energy drink. The people in the car were representing that drink to the world. They were out of their car going to the other cars and giving cans of the energy drink away to each person.
Reminded me of Jesus with the crowds. He gave away gracelets of the Kingdom — Healing the sick, casting out demons, raising the dead and preaching the gospel to the poor. Then when he left he gave us the responsibility to give away the same gracelets of the Kingdom.
And these signs shall follow those that believe: In my name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take away serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands upon the sick, and they shall be healed. Mark 16:17-18
Truly I say to you, He who puts his faith in me will do the very works which I do, and he will do greater things than these, because I am going to my Father. John 14:12
We are representative of our Father Yahweh and His Kingdom. We may not look or act like everyone else but we go from person to person giving tastes or gracelets of the Kingdom that they may all see and taste and know that the Kingdom is good and want more.
“Oh taste and see that the Lord is good” Psalm 34:8
Is what you are giving away something that the people you come around will truly want more of?
Or are you just giving philosophy with Jesus name in it?
“for the kingdom of God isn’t just talk but power” 1 Corinthians 4:20
