"Jesus answered, 'My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.'" -John 7:16 (NIV)
Many of us have different interests that are reflected in what we do and how we do things. We may represent our favorite sports teams, brands, or activities. There are lots of ways we represent ourselves and our beliefs, but we shouldn't let our identities be consumed by these temporary things. We also need to be a representation of our Creator and Savior!
God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to earth for a purpose. The teaching that Jesus shared throughout His lifetime was sent from God. Jesus was God's representative in the flesh! As we learn from Jesus and continually grow in our faith, we, too, represent God. We may represent His redeeming power in our own lives or His love and compassion for all of His creation. Through our words and actions, we need to be "represent" God's power and love so others can join His eternal family!
Use your life to represent God's active presence!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your presence in my life. Help me to be a representation of Your love and forgiveness so others can know You, too. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
