“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Wednesday;  February 6, 2008

 

          When pondering Christianity, do we consider it to be a more difficult or an easier way of life?  When we think about living the life ordained in the Scriptures, do we envision freedom or constraint?

          While it is true that living the edicts of the Bible require a more focused life, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it has to be more difficult.  In fact, by giving up a lifetime devoted to sin and selfishness, we break free from the bonds of their consequences and are able to find a true freedom.

          Yes, God does demand an obedience and slavery to Him; but, through that, we find a ease of life.  By doing things His way, we are able to be liberated from the constraints of carnal living.  Jesus made a promise to believers when He said, “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls.”  (Matthew 11:28-29)  Are we looking for freedom?  That is only found in service to God.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
