| Quiet time with God |
John 7:53-8:1 - (53) And every man went unto his own house. (8:1) Jesus went unto the mount of
Olives.
While everyone else went to go home, Jesus went to the mountain to spend time
alone with God. The most mature Christian will possess a life out of the
ordinary. Everybody else is retired to bed, but the mature Christian is up
praying. After church on Sunday, everyone else goes home to watch TV, but the
mature Christian goes home to spend more time in God’s word. Friends get
together and talk about the weather and movies, but the mature Christian
attempts to salt the conversation with talk of God and things eternal. The
mature Christian life is a radical, abnormal Christian life from the normal one
you see today. Be like Jesus - when every man goes to do the normal activities,
and live the normal life you go do better and redeem the time. |
