Jesus Said, “Do This!”

It is a remarkable thing that Jesus never wrote a book or drew up a creed. 

He took no pains to record his own thoughts in unalterable writing, nor did he impart to his disciples a common set of articles of faith, logically and unmistakably linked together, which they were to hold and to teach. 

Jesus would have little sympathy for the modern attempts to standardize the theology of men and women. He did not put his thoughts into articles of faith, which people must sign — he put them into actions, which men and men must do. 

His great word was not “Say this,” but “Do this.” “Do this in memory of me,” Jesus said when he lifted up the Bread and Wine at the Last Supper. And we are still doing this today in churches throughout the world. We must also do everything else Jesus told us to do.

Jesus has not commanded us to repeat creeds, but to perform deeds; not to recite, but to do the will of the Father.

Thanks to James W. Cox for these thoughts. 

What actions do YOU and Jesus need to take today?

GOD WILL WRECK YOUR PLANS WHEN GOD SEES THAT YOUR PLANS ARE ABOUT TO WRECK YOU!!
