A Coke & Christ
"For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels” (Luke 9:26).
If you are like me you love your soda pop, it’s an American icon that you can sip or guzzle pretty-much to your hearts desire… (it may burn a whole in your tummy-linings if you overdo…) but that’s a different story. What I’m getting at is I’m not ashamed to say ‘I love coke’ but am I ashamed to say ‘I love Jesus Christ, are you?’ You know, you just don’t hear his name spoken all that very often… why is that?
Christian, may His name ever be on our lips… less we forget how we first loved him… how can we forget the innocence, sincerity, and longing… the over-powering cleansing that took place when we first trusted him…
May our hearts reflect compassion and mercy and our lives shine forth His righteousness—His glory! For Christ loves you and forgives you and cares for your every need—drink of Him—fill your life with Him and spread His name, his glory, his righteous and faithful acts to the very four corners of your world and to those who know you as friend or enemy!
‘Give us Father your peace so that we are content in this life to just sit and have a chat with you… and drink to our hearts desire… ‘
