THE STORY OF JESUS: Mark 11:1-11
“Many people spread their cloaks on the road… ” (Mark 11:8)
This was an act of devotion, an offering of ‘self’ in service to the king.
What have you spread “on the road” for Jesus?
This is more than faith, more than saying ‘I believe!’
Many say ‘I believe in Jesus’, but they put little “on the road” for Jesus.
Jesus is the Saviour of the world, and also of me.
Do I really feel and appreciate this, am I thankful or joy-filled?
When is the last time I naturally proclaimed, ‘praise you Jesus!’
Not sang it in a song at church, but personally expressed it from the heart.
How has my love for Jesus shown itself in what I put “on the road” for Jesus?
To offer my car, bake a cake, or make time for someone, for Jesus!
Like that donkey, I carry Jesus into the world so that others may see Him!
Like that cloak, I make a path for Jesus to reach others in love!
As a Jesus follower, I am eager to put something “on the road” for Him.
This is our spiritual act of worship (Romans 12:1-2).
What do you sense the Lord saying to you?
PRAYER
Lord, the worship You desire is not songs and words, but an offering of myself in devotion to You. Your Spirit is inviting me to put my faith, my life, on the road again!
Jesus follower
trying to find His way
I am a Christian meaning a Christ follower.
So were his disciples. They went everywhere He went and listened to His every Word and did as He commanded. Words and deeds. They will know who we are by what we say and do. That needs to be shown – the Christ is in us. And they will know we are Christians by our love.
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord
And we pray that all unity may one day be restored
And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
They will know we are Christians by our love
We will work with each other, we will work side by side
We will work with each other, we will work side by side
And we’ll guard each one’s dignity and save each one’s pride
And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
They will know we are Christians by our love
By our love, by our love
And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
They will know we are Christians by our love
We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand
We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand
And together we’ll spread the news that God is in our land
And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
They will know we are Christians by our love
By our love, by our love
And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
They will know we are Christians by our love
