WORTH DYING
FOR
Today’s
youth, Millennials, are searching for something worth living for and when they
find it, they are willing to die for it.
The problem is that in our secular society today, they are finding
nothing worth living for.
The
great Greek philosophers and thinkers of old had a similar issue. Speaking to them, the Apostle Paul said to
them in Acts 17:24-28, “The God who made the world and everything in it, is the
Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands, as if He
needed anything. Because He Himself gives all men life and breath and
everything else. From one man, He made
every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He
determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should
live. God did this so that men would
seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from
each one of us. For in Him, we live and
move and have our being. As some of your
own poets have said, ‘we are His offspring.’”
David
found that his goal was just that, to live with Him at all times. He said in Psalm
27:4, “One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in
the house of the Lord all the days of my life.”
Knowing that the Lord had “assigned him his portion and his cup” (Psalm
16:5) He tells us the secret of his strength in Psalm 16:7. He says, “I have
set the Lord always before me. Because
He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.”
If
you are looking to give your life for something worthwhile that has forever
implications and an eternal future, give it to Jesus. He was serious when He told His disciples the
kind of dedication He expected. He says
in Matthew 16:21-25 and 27, “If anyone would come after Me, he must deny
himself and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life
will lose it, but whoever loses his life for Me will find it…
For the Son of Man
is going to come in His Father’s glory with His angels, and then, He will
reward each person according to what he has done.”
Do
you want to REALLY LIVE and have your life count for something? Then…
LIVE FOR CHRIST!
HE IS WORTH
DYING FOR!
