On this edition of Monday Thursday pastor Matt describes what a resume is and how it relates to Jesus and our righteousness.
After watching the video consider the questions below. You can think about them to yourself quietly or write them privately in a journal.
- Answer yes or no to this question: In your life time have you: lied, disrespected a parent or other authority figure, taken something that was not yours, took the Lord’s name in vain (like saying OMG or something similar), said something you knew you should not have said, watched something you should not have watched?
- The Bible says, “Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matthew 5:48) If you said yes to any of those, how can you be perfect?
- pastor Matthew mentioned 2 Corinthians 5:21 “. . . God made him, who knew no sin, to be sin, so that in him we might become righteous.” This means that Jesus does 2 things: He takes something and gives something. What are those things he takes and gives?
- For those who have faith in Jesus HOW is He our perfection
Understand this, the only way we can become perfect is faith in Christ. For those who are Christians, who follow Christ, who trust in Christ, when it is time for judgement, Jesus appears in YOUR place. You are perfect because of Jesus.
