- Whatever!
- The apostle Paul says that, whatever you do, no matter what it is...
- Whatever your mouth is speaking...
- Whatever your hands are at work doing...
- Wherever you are...
- At home, at work, at School, with family, with friends...
- Do all of it with this type of thought - “I am representing someone so much greater, so pure, so loving.”
- I am representing Jesus Christ Himself!
- So how are you representing Him?
- What do people see?
- What do others hear?
- Ask yourself, “Is what I am doing bringing glory to God?”
- “Can what I am doing be done in the name of Jesus Christ, and would he bless what I am doing?”
- “Are my actions, Christ-like actions?”
- Is my attitude Honoring to His Name?
- “Will, what I am doing weaken or hinder my witness for Christ?”
- “Can what I am doing be done while sincerely giving thanks to God?”
- All good questions but always remember that if you are trying to represent Christ that you need to be in His presence.
- You cannot do this with sheer will power.
- Just prior to this, Col. 3:15 says, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts”
- And in verse 16 it says “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly”
- So what you put in is what will come out!
- If you have His peace ruling your heart and His Word dwelling in you, then WHATEVER you do will represent Him well!
- It has to!
- So if you want to represent Christ well in WHATEVER you do then fill your Heart up with His Peace and live in His Word!
- Put it in and live it out!
- Have a great Tuesday!
“And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.” (Colossians 3:17 )
