Luke 10 -- Why are you here?

One question that we find Jesus asking is, "Why are you here?" What have you come to Jesus for? It is the central question that we as the people of God need to remember. Around Jesus there are always three groups of people; trusters (disciples…), the crowd and the judgers (pharisees…). Everyone kind of starts as one of the crowd and it is through the witness of Jesus and the experience of the individuals that moves them one way or the other. Why are you here? to accept the offered relationship with God or to self justify? Do you know yet?

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
