Living like the Master

Posted: February 22, 2011 in Uncategorized

The Lord came down in a cloud and stood there with him and called out his name “the Lord.” Then he passed in front of Moses, calling out, “The Lord, the Lord, a compassionate and merciful God, patient, always faithful and ready to forgive. He continues to show his love to thousands of generations, forgiving wrongdoing, disobedience, and sin. He never lets the guilty go unpunished, punishing children and grandchildren for their parents’ sins to the third and fourth generation.” Immediately, Moses knelt, bowing with his face touching the ground.  (Exodus 34:5-8)

What man or institution has these qualities? In addition, He is the eternal Creator, Healer, Savior, Judge, and the very pinnacle of wisdom, understanding, and grace.

Yet, mankind is so deluded that, without realizing it, many worship their consciences formed by their own earthly experiences.

A true disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ will walk as He did, spending time with the Father and allowing Holy Spirit to form the truth of who God the Father is in our hearts & Spirit that we be not mis-led by our own hearts or the opinions of others. Jesus showed us the way to live our lives friends, by going to Father God in prayer and spending quality time there.

We need to be like Moses crying out – “I want to see your face” and “I will go no place unless You go with me Lord”

Oh that we would indeed being as willing as our Lord to do what the Father has called us to do:

Jesus stirred people up so that they said, “No man ever spoke like this Man!” (John 7:46). He challenged and exposed the hypocrisies of the religion of His day and was moved to deep anger by the shameless exploitation taking place at the Temple. He was of such personality that He walked unscathed through hostile crowds. Jesus was meek, but the term indicates that He had the power to use as He willed, restraining it as an act of mercy, wisdom, and love.

Christianity is not for the soft and sentimental. We have a war on our hands, and our God is a powerful warrior—the Lord of Hosts is His name. He is on our side, but He demands our loyalty.
