We had a really good service for Mother’s Day. Shannon Waters brought beautiful red roses and ask each family to present their mother with a rose and thank them and pray for them. It was really sweet.
Shannon Waters also brought a good message based on 11Cor. 3:9 “If the ministry that condemns men is glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!” NIV
Shannon said, “The ministry of condemnation is our works trying to please God”. Romans 6 23 tells us that “….the wages of sin is death” . Jesus fulfilled the law. Romans 7:7 I see my sin through the law. Lev. 20:7. Going back to 11Cor. 3:7 …he ask us if we were doing good deeds trying to keep the law to gain God’s favor or because we love God?
Shannon talked about being a testimony to our Christianity by wearing T-Shirts with some Christian saying or by our actions. He told a funny true story about going out to play golf with a T-Shirt on that proclaimed Christ and not feeling very Christian as he played poorly. Haven’t we all had that happen as we go through life. We are ambassadors of Christ wherever we go out into the world. The world is watching us to see how Christians handle every situation.
The ministry of Righteousness only comes through faith. The law only points us to Jesus and It’s all about Jesus. He is our righteousness. One word sums up our Christian Walk. Love . John 13:34 says, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so must you love one another.” My friends, that takes Jesus to love one another as Jesus loves us. JESUS IS OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
