I’ve Moved

Something struck me this morning during my Bible study time. As I was reading through the 2nd chapter of Mark’s Gospel, I noticed a recurring theme that was happening to Jesus. He had just started His public ministry, and was getting very, very popular. The Pharisee’s were watching every single move He made. They were setting back, waiting for Him or those around Him to make a mistake, and they pounced when they thought they had caught Him doing something He shouldn’t have been doing. Each and every time they questioned Christ, He answered them with Truth.

What about us? Doesn’t that same thing happen to use on a daily basis? Because we are in Christ and profess that He has changed us, we have a massive arrow above us. People everywhere are watching, and waiting, for us or those we are around to mess up, then they pounce. Are you ready to give an answer for why you do or don’t do something? 1 Peter 3:15 tell us we are to be ready to give a defense for our hope, this includes giving a defense to why we do the things we do. Make sure you and those around you are representing Christ, and glorifying Him in all you do. There is always someone watching.
