NOT HOW MUCH BUT HOW WELL

 Acts 6:1-7

Big things depend on little things. A little screw out of place in the locomotive can wreck the whole train. Big things depend on little things being well done. Let us remember that if ours is some little, humble task, it takes just the same grace and power as does the big thing our neighbor is doing. And the Master doesn’t measure bigness of task, but the faithfulness of each one in the part asked of him.

1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

THE JESUS INSTINCT

Acts 4:32-37

When we get a vision of Jesus we know that all we have is from him. We know it belongs to him. It is ours only in trust, to be used for him. And we are willing and eager so to use it that his message of love may be loosed out to draw others to him. The common instinct is to keep all for ourselves. The Jesus instinct is to use it so men shall know about him.

1 Corinthians 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

THE REAL CHURCH

Acts 2:41-47

The Church is really composed of all those who have opened their hearts to Jesus. They are joined together by the Holy Spirit dwelling in them. They are chiefly concerned about one thing—getting men everywhere to know that Jesus came down and lived and loved and died. So living together and working together there comes a renewal of strength, and there goes a clear, ringing witness to the world of the power of Jesus.

1 Corinthians 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

DO YOU DO IT?

1John 3:13-22

When Jesus died for us, it wasn’t because we were lovable. It was because we were so deeply tangled in sin. And our sin had to be got rid of somehow, it was hurting us so. It is easy to love the lovable. He loved us when we were unlovable. When we love the unlovable, even if we cannot like them, and are even willing to give our lives daily to win them, that’s the real touch of the real Jesus spirit.

John 10:30  I and my Father are one.

A SPELLING LESSON

1Corinthians 13:1-13

We marvel at the life Jesus lived and gave for us. One word explains it all: his love. What is love? Trace Jesus’ steps; then you will know. The practical spelling of love is J-e-s-u-s. We know it only as we know him. It was his love that gave meaning to everything said and done. No matter what talents we have, the real thing’s lacking unless love’s the driving power within. The rest makes statistics chiefly.
