The task of the church at large is not to make Jesus over into
something that fits and conforms to the needs of the world of today.
The task of your Bible study and prayer is NOT to discover that about
Jesus which will reinforce your lifestyle and help you achieve your
goals. The task of this church is not to underscore the servant role
of Jesus Christ.
For Jesus IS. He is the I AM THAT I AM. Our task is to lift Him
up, and introduce Him. We are the servants of the great King of Kings.
When we are seeking to use Jesus to enforce our aspirations we
may find principles that will help us succeed in some temporal
areas. But ultimately we shall be diminished and we shall fail at the
task of the Christian faith.
But when we are seeking to be used of Jesus in the work of His
kingdom; when our lives proclaim "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be
done!", then we shall find that all hell itself cannot keep us from
living in God's love.
