Do Others See Jesus in Me?
May 10, 2012 (Thursday)
The biography of Jesus was presented by the Apostle Peter in five words: “he went about doing good” (Acts 10:38).
The Apostle Paul urges us to have the mind of Christ (“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus” – Philippians 2:5).
Jesus revealed his will for each of us when he said, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 11:34-35 NIV).
Everywhere Jesus went, people flocked to him. They wanted to see him heal people. They wanted to hear his simple explanations about the will of God for them. Most of all, they just wanted to be near him for a while, because they knew that he cared about them.
When we accept Jesus as our Savior and Lord, we commit ourselves to live his way. And that is the way of loving God and others with our entire being. In 1954, Bo and Dick Baker wrote a song which expresses this longing in our hearts. The title of the song, “His Way..Mine.”
His Way…Mine!
God has a place for every planned creation,
A path for every star to go.
He drew the course for every river’s journey,
Now I know he has a way for me.
Chorus:
I place my life in the hands of God.
Those hands so scarred now outstretched for me.
Where ever it may be, over land, over sea,
May thy will sublime, O Thou God divine, be mine.
Now in His will my soul finds life worth living,
Each day new blessings from above.
Tho shadows come and valleys seem unending,
Still I know He makes a way for me.
