What Kind Of Master Is Jesus?
“Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? Luke 6:46
LORD JESUS! You’ve either said these sacred words yourself, or you’ve heard somebody else say them. But have you ever stopped to think: ”Why DO you we call Him ‘Lord’ and then NOT DO what He tells us?” That’s Jesus’s question in Luke 6:46. It’s a legitimate question and it deserves a legitimate answer. This October at RiverTown, we’re going to take some time to get to the bottom of our LORD’S question.
So, I took some time think about some of the excuses in my own life.

Because I Wanted To Obey When I Answered. Because It Doesn’t Fit In To My Current Direction. Because I’m Afraid. Because I’m Proud. Because I’m Ashamed. Because I’m Comfortable. Because I’m Tired. Because I’ll Be Bored. Because I Don’t Really Trust God. Because I Don’t Have The Resources. Because I Want To Figure It Out Myself. |
Because I Will Fail Again. Because I Just Want Him To Do It For Me. Because I’m Not Desperate Enough To Change. Because I Want To Protect Myself. Because I’ve Been Hurt Following God. Because God Hasn’t Answered My Prayers. Because I Want To Please Somebody Else. Because I Love Other Things More. Because I’m Not Sure What He Wants From Me. Because I Don’t Know Enough of The Bible. Because I Don’t Recognize His Voice. Because I’m Really My Own Master. |
Are any of your excuses in this list?
The point this Sunday is that Jesus is the Kind of Master that Serves YOU! The biggest help I have ever found to change my mind about serving Christ as my MASTER is to realize this important point:
“It Serves Me To Serve My MASTER.”
I Can’t wait to share with you this Sunday how this truth will PERMANENTLY CHANGE your WALK with CHRIST!
The secret behind it is in becoming what the Bible calls a BOND SERVANT.
In Christ, Pastor David Rathel
