Be Real - Sunday, November 30th 2014 1 Corinthians 2:3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. NKJV Paul is being very honest in this verse. He is not trying to make himself look better than he really is. He isnt covering up his weakness. In fact, in 1 Timothy 1:16, Paul proclaims that he is an example of Gods longsuffering. He is not a perfect man but a perfect example of Gods loving-kindness, grace and mercy. At times, Christians act like we dont have any problems. The problem with this is that it leaves an impression to those who dont know Jesus. They see Christians pretending they are not messed up and assume that since they still struggle with problems, they dont belong in church. In doing so, are we proclaiming Gods goodness or our own? We need to proclaim Gods goodness by being open about our problems and proclaiming that it is the goodness of God that saves! Thats being real. Its real life, demonstrating the real love and real hope of the real God. In your weakness, the Good News of Jesus Christ is made strong. Life Lesson: We should be real with people and not portray some False Spirituality. Dear God, Thank You for loving me. Thank You for the forgiveness of my sins and for giving me the opportunity to experience life more abundantly. Lord, thank You for revealing Yourself to me through Your Word. I want the offer of joy, hope and peace that only You can give. In Jesus name, Amen.
