Memory Verse: John 15:13: “Greater love hath no man than this, that, a Man lay down His life for His friends”.
Reading: Jn. 21:15-17.
If you truly desired a change in your situation this year, there is work for you. The Lord says that you should promote Christ. Let me share with you this short story that challenged me on how to promote Christ.
An unbelieving English traveller met an overzealous American India convert who kept pestering him about Christ. Desiring to keep his mouth shut, the English man challenged him: “What has this Christ done for you that you made so much fuss about him?” The Indian convert decided to demonstrate what Christ did for him instead of telling a story.
He collected dry leaves and sticks, and formed a ring with the items. He picked a live worm and put it at the centre of the ring. Then he struck a light and set the leaves and sticks on fire. As the flame rose, the heat scorched the worm but it could not escape. Weak and helpless, it curled itself up in the middle of the ring, waiting for the inevitable, which is death.
At this point, the Indian picked up the worm, placed it on his palm close to his chest. Gradually, the warm uncurled. “What does this mean?” The English man asked. The Indian explained. His life was like the perishing worm. He was dying in sin hopeless, helpless, and bound for eternal fire. Christ stretched out His long arm of power and mercy, and delivered him from the everlasting fire.
Jesus asked Peter, “Do you love me?” (Jn. 21:15-17). He is repeating the same question this morning. If you really loved Jesus, let your New Year resolution be: “To witness for Christ, to live for Christ and Work for Christ”. When you promote Christ, your life will change.
