JESUS’ FAMILY REVEALED BY WORDS AND ACTIONS

“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. —Matthew 12:30

For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned. —Matthew 12:37

He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” —Matthew 12:48-50

            Your words reveal your heart— “A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of” (Luke 6:45).  And so, on that day, “by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” 

            Words and actions reveal who a person is.  Jesus said that those of His family are those who do “the will of my Father in heaven.”  And what is the Father’s will?  “And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us” (I John 3:23).  Here are the Two Great Commands that we are to be applying to our lives.  Again, our words and actions will show who we are.  What do your words and actions show?  Do they show we are for Jesus?  Or, do they show that we are against Jesus.  There is no middle road… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE_PNUNmw9c&list=RDrE_PNUNmw9c&start_radio=1 Dear Father, may my words and actions clearly show that I belong to Jesus.  May this be so by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Jesus.  Yes, may this be so!
