THE COST of discipleship is like Peter’s denial, but it isn’t a denial of the Lord; it’s a denial of ourselves. Jesus has freed us in order to be individuals of the Kingdom, scattered like a diaspora in the world, but we only bring glory to his covenant intent when we say about ourselves – having come to know ourselves implicitly – “I do not know this man/woman.”

And His ever present hand is always at work, not only taking care of all our present needs, but planning and shaping our future needs as well. And He delights in doing that, because like an expert and passionate sculptor, it brings Him joy to see his work of art take shape at every strike of the chisel.

Human beings are curious to know the purpose behind existence of life and have evolved as the most capable organism to do so. But all achievements of human beings have come at some cost, most of which are intangible but significant. In fact, our ambitions have pushed us to the brink of in existence. It is now that we need a teacher who himself has experienced the ways to control his mind. Leave alone salvation, we need a guidance to build a safe future for our generations to come.

Your current love life is the result of your past life actions, according to the theories of reincarnation and karma. Below are examples of past life suffering that led to happy love lives.

MORALITY is what Jesus seems to be pinpointing, here. We know we aren’t supposed to be claiming another person’s credit, but Jesus extends this into the realm of a higher moral vision, because there is no glory to God when we attract to ourselves what those of the world do.

THE PARADOX that is the kingdom of God, the church, and every vessel set apart for God’s use, is it’s a kingdom unrecognisable and unacknowledged in the world’s eyes. Think about this Jesus who was about to ride into Jerusalem on a donkey, as prophesied in Zechariah 9:9, to the acclaim of the many who laid down palm fronds before his path on that ancient first Palm Sunday.

MOTIVES are weighed by the LORD. Not an iota of ill-gotten gain is blessed until every last skerrick is accounted for. The kudos we get because we thrust ourselves into the forefront of contentious attention comes to nothing. It’s rendered worthless. We established for ourselves a reward that passes away at light speed.

KUDOS. Favour. Praise. Acclaim. Credit. Applause. Compliments. We all like such responses of kindness, flattery, or worth. When life runs our way there is plenty of this that we get that we thrive on. But when we don’t get it, it can mess with our sense of self.

THE GIANTS hit town recently and so captured our imaginations we didn’t quite know how to view these 11-metre diver and 6-metre girl puppets. So massive were their proportions they required a support crew of over a hundred red-clad ‘little’ people, and a purported one million people showed up to see the fantasy unfold. It was breathtaking.

WORDS ARE DANGEROUS. What we say – the promises we make – are perilous at times. A large part of the problem is we only discover this by hindsight much of the time, or we do notice the error in our speaking at the time, but we don’t know how to rectify it. These are just two examples of the hazardous nature of communication. And, of course, we haven’t even catered for misunderstanding in the receipt of communication.

Helmut Thielicke (1908-1986) said in his expansive commentary on the Sermon On the Mount, Life Can Begin Again, “Only the person who is under Jesus Christ gains the freedom to be truthful… ” If we pique our awareness to such a degree as to glaze each word that comes from our lips in truth we have some sense of imperfect mastery over what we say and how we say it.
