I've been thinking... What will Jesus will ask me when I am finally able to converse with Him face to face?
Based on Matthew 7:21-23 "Not everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be known by God." This in context of those who made the right choice and did the hard things to follow Him.
So, occasionally on this blog I'll ask you the question that I think Jesus is asking me now and hopefully you'll share your answers below in the comment section. So, here's the first question Jesus is asking...
"Are you putting me on?"
It's easy to think we are living the good Christian life, struggling through relationships, jobs, family while much of the time we are seeking pleasure, comfort and autonomy. Because of this, I wouldn't be surprised to hear Jesus say, "Come on! Are you putting me on?" When, in fact that is exactly what we are called to do... "Put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires." Romans 13:14 (ESV). Yet it is the very fact that we are constantly pursuing a Club Med faith, which reveals our inability to make the right choices and do the hard things.
So what does that look like? How do we put on Jesus? It may seem like a simple question but really think about it.
I'd rather hear Jesus asking me now than later... The meaning completely changes, if you know what I mean!
