Good Morning!
JESUS CHRIST EARNESTLY DESIRES INTIMACY WITH YOU THROUGHOUT
THIS DAY.
Hours before His betrayal, Jesus knew full well that the twelve
disciples would soon slink away like cowards in their denial of
Him. Yet it was to them He said, "I have earnestly
desired to eat...with you." (Luke 22:15)
And this is His desire with you today: Intimacy...Communion.
As you progress through this day the most significant
task before you will not be:
- Clinching a "deal"
- Picking up another client
- Resolving another personnel problem
As important as these challenges may be, they pale in comparison
to your calling of intimate communion with Christ:
"God is faithful through whom you were called into the fellowship with His Son,
Jesus Christ." (I Corinthians 1:9)
Here is how Jesus put it:
"It is the man who shares my life and in whose life
I share who proves fruitful, for the plain fact is that apart
from me you can do nothing at all." (John 15:5 Phillips)
God's singular objective at the cross was to make our fellowship
with the Lord Jesus a continual, moment by moment reality.
TODAY, LET US RESOLVE THAT NOTHING IN WHICH WE ARE ENGAGED
WILL ROB US OF THAT INNER RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. AFTER
ALL, THAT IS OUR CALLING.
Have a great week!
