“Not
everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but
only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.”
It
is not enough to simply hear the message of Jesus Christ and know who he
is. No, we must respond to Christ
by the way we live our lives: “Everyone
who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will
be like a wise man who built his house on rock.” Every day we are faced with temptation
and have opportunities to choose Christ or choose something else. Our job is to take the message we have heard and apply it to our daily lives.
We
know that Christmas is near. We
know the end of the Advent story—Jesus will be born in a stable in
Bethlehem. But having heard the
story and knowing it well, is it making a difference in your life today?
