THE DAILY BLUEPRINT - 6.17.09
GOING HOME
Part 2
JOHN 12:25
He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep unto life eternal.
Today's verse brings to mind when Jesus said to the rich young ruler to sell all he had and give it to the poor - then you will have all you need - this was a very odd statement as is today's - but we must go deeper - what I believe Jesus is saying is that if we love our lives in the hear and now - another words - if that's all we focus on - we will miss the whole picture - it's so tough as we have physical bodies that need physical care - it's only natural to concentrate on what you can see instead of what you can't - Jesus says that if you love this life more then the one to come - you have problems - also the verse that asked the question, What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul? , brings this all back around - we must ask ourselves some very hard questions - we must ask ourselves what are we really living for - we must have some answers to these tough questions - so what is the point of all this? I believe we should have our feet planted on earth but our hearts should be in heaven - a song by the group NewSong spoke to me many years ago - it was called.. My Heart Is Already There! And this should be the message of our lives - now some will say if you go to far and keep focused on what to come - you will be no earthly good - to a degree that is correct -we must have balance in our lives - sure we must care for our families - God commands us to - so we must live in the here and now - but we must not live as if heaven is not real - nor should we live as if we will live just like we are forever - God wants our hearts and all the rest - are we willing to give over control to the One who made it all?
While this series is about going home - it's also about living right now - with Christ in us - we can do anything and everything - keep your eyes on CHRIST!
Living this life for JESUS and the next one as well! , Daniel<><
