Riches ,Poverty and Chrisitanity
What does riches,poverty and chrisitanity have in common?
Have you ever been out of work! The feelings of desperation, and fear is very real. today! TODAY.so many people out of work and poverty is on the rise.
It happened to my family and myself a few years back. The church that I was on as a staff person had to cut me because they had no money in the buget to pay me.So just like that I found myself on the food stamp line. I remembered that when I finally got to the top of the line I showed the lady my application and she said,"Sorry you filled it out wrong, you have to go back to the end of the line and redo it all over again." Man what a bummer.
Acts 3:1-11- We will see a miracle in the mist of the rich and poor. In this bible passage we will see God working a miracle in a cripple man needs!
Peter and John were poor and so was the cripple man! There was a difference,
The cripple man was expecting to receive money to satisfy his earthly needs but in In verse 6, Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”
I believe, we need money to live but to really live, all we need is Jesus!
This man is a picture of a lost person:
· Born lame- all are born sinners
· Could not walk-no goal for living
· Searching for satisfaction
Money will buy you: a bed but not sleep, food but not appetite, books but not brains, makeup but not beauty, amusements but not happiness and even religion but not salvation.
The only thing that brings happiness in life knowing Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour
What riches, poverty and Christianity have in common is a need. Only Jesus can fill that need!
God loves you very much! He can fill that need! Ask Jesus today to come into your heart and he will meet your needs!
Love,
Eddie
