STOP DATING JESUS!

STOP DATING JESUS!

Isa 62:5

…and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

           Too many that call themselves believers want to play the field. They will come to church when there is something special provided in the way of worship but if a more entertaining offer comes along they are booked up. Jesus stands with His hat in his hand waiting His turn. Too many are dating Jesus while a marriage is what He wants.

           Traditional marriage vows are all inclusive. Each partner promises to “love, honor, cherish, and even obey in want or in wealth and in sickness or in health.” That is not a list from which you choose but a package. Everything is in there.

           Dr. Adrian Rogers illustrates the idea this way: “Well, suppose I perform a wedding ceremony and say to the young man, ‘Would you take Susan to be your lawfully wedded wife?’ And he responds, ‘Well, I’ll take Susan as housekeeper.’ Then I ask her, ‘Would you take John to be your lawfully wedded husband?’ And she says, ‘Well, I’ll take John as provider.’ No, you see, you don’t take him as anything, you take him. You take her and all that comes with her.”

Matt 22:37

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Dear Lord, You are my husband and I am part of your bride. Let me not be found unfaithful. AMEN
