John 14:23 (09-06-10)

Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him."
John 14:23 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...At many Christian funerals, the preacher emphasizes how Jesus has left to make a place ready for us to join him in heaven. Then he is going to come back for us. But just a few verses later, Jesus adds this promise. He's telling us that until we can come be with him at his place, he will come live with us here in our hearts. It all hinges on one thing -- our willingness to obey him. Not a bad deal, is it? So let's not let obedience be a forgotten word in our lifestyle!

My Prayer...Holy God, I know Jesus came to earth and obeyed your will. Give me discernment so that my obedience will not simply be the obedience of your words, but a longing to live according to your will. I long to honor you because you have done so much to save me. Thank you. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
