Scripture Reading: Luke 15:22-32

Some Pertinent Verses:
15:23  And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let
us eat, and be merry:
15:24   For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he
was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

The prodigal son had changed, and his father treated
him as a new young man. We need to treat people
according to what God has renewed them to be, not as
the old sinful person of the past. It is good to “go the
extra mile” to bring reconciliation. We are to treat others
well. That brings rewards! We are to do our work well
which will also bring rewards!

Jesus said that whosoever does the will of God is in His family. (Mark 3:35). Jesus said that whoever does the will of God is His brother, sister and mother. We are to be obedient to God to remain in Jesus’ family. Jesus taught a crowd at the seashore while He was in a boat. He taught about the sower and the soils. (Mark 4:3-20). We are to listen to the word of God, to receive Jesus’ teachings, to develop a deep spiritual life with full devotion to God, to avoid being led off course by cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches or the lust of other things. We are to produce much fruit.

Are we in danger of making the Word of God of none effect like the Pharisees did?

 

“And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: But ye say, if a man shall say to his father or mother, it is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such things do ye.” (Mark 7:9-13) 

 

Are we developing a set of doctrines in our churches that make the Word of God of none effect? Should we do better at making sure that our doctrines are Biblically based rather than a reflection of the opinions of those gathered together for decision making?

Is there an excuse for sin? I submit to you that I believe there is no excuse for sin. The definition I am using for sin is the Biblical definition as stated in 1 John 3:4, “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.” Also, in James 4:17 it says, “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” Sin is clearly a choice we make, and we are responsible for choices we make.  1 John 2:1 says, “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.”  I thank God that there is a remedy for sin!  “And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous…”  (1 John 2:1b), and “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”  
(1 John 1:9)

“And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.” (Matthew 14:14)

Jesus has much compassion and power. He delights in caring for His own. We need a caring spirit from Him which will enable us to care for others. May God help us to be a blessing and help to our families and to others around us!
