Poptarts
Ephesians 6:6: Obey them not only to win
their favor when their eye is on you, but like
slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from
your heart.. -NIV
It is a glorious spring morning and the kids
are watching the toaster with impatience in
thier eyes. As soon as the toaster pops, the
two begin to argue as to who will have the first
one. Mom saw this as a teaching moment for her
children.
“Kids, if Jesus were sitting at this
table, He would say, ‘Let another have
the first poptart, I can wait.”
Dylan turned to his younger sister, Ann-marie,
and said, ‘Ann-marie, you be Jesus this
time, Okay!”
It is easy to be Christ-like when things are
going your way or when you are getting served
but how easy is it to be like Jesus when we
want what others have or when things are not
going your way. Are we like children who insist
that others should treat us a certain way but
refuse to change ourselves? Lets determine right
now that we will be the one who gets to “be
Jesus this time”. Let the world see Jesus
in you first then maybe they will start asking
who this Jesus is. |
