Today at sunday school we were going over the lessons New Jerusalem Part 1 and 2. By the end of the lesson, both children and I were feeling overwhelmed about the amount of work that needs to be done for us to become the Bride of Christ.
From being obedient to the spirit of the Lord, growing in the measure of the fullness of the stature of Christ and then being sanctified in spirit, soul and body to living a victorious life overcoming sin, sickness, satan, world and death. The list just kept going.
I had to stop because I could see the quesiness in the face of the teen girls. I told them, imagine you have a boyfriend and immediately their lips curved. He is obsessed with you even though you are not fully there. You guys have been speaking on the phone but haven't met. He always says the right thing and you know you have hit the jackpot with him.
Your love for him is growing despite the long distance and you are able to keep temptations at bay because you know He is worth it and what you have together is a once in a lifetime love. That boyfriend is our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We just have to make an effort to reciprocate His love. Rest He will take care and complete His work in us through grace. So don't worry. Jesus has our back. We prayed and ended the class.
