many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. Philippians 3:18b-19 NIV
How many of you, as a child, remember playing the game tug of war? Well, guess what, you still are involved in that game, but on a much more serious level. On one side stands those who believe in, and belong to Jesus Christ, while on the other side stand those who are truly enemies of the cross of Christ. Here I speak of those who truly are opposed to Christ and His teachings. In the middle stand all the lost souls. These are the ones who are being fought over.
Those opposed to the cross of Christ, share lies and deceit. They attempt to convince that one’s goal in life is to go for all that one can get, to focus on self and filling oneself with all the pleasures of earthly desires. These are headed for total destruction. It is just a matter of time, both individually and collectively.
On the other side stand those who know the absolute truth. We know that in giving, we receive, that in humbling ourselves we are exalted. We think with our heart and not our mind. We see with the eye of the heart, not the eyes in our head. We know that which is greater than ourselves. We have heard and abide in the calling of our Lord and Master. We share the Good News with the lost souls of this world. We pray for those who are our enemies, the haters of the cross of Christ. We pray that those may be saved from the total destruction that otherwise awaits them.
Do you feel that tug on the rope? Grab firmly and pull with all the strength given to you by Christ. We know our destiny, and that of those who choose to remain enemies of the cross.
