What Does Christ See In You?
Jesus has His eye on you (like the colt)
He knows where you are
He knows what ties you up
He knows what it takes to release you
He is willing to use you for His work (sat upon)
He knows your potential in helping serve Him
The people had their eye on Him
It was Christ they were cheering
It was Christ who deserved their cheers
It was Christ they "paved" the way for with their garments and palms
The message today is not about us, it is about Him
they were not excited about the colt that had never been ridden but about the man named Jesus
Christ had His eye on the fig tree
The time was right for fruit (it is now)
He expected fruit (still does)
He found no fruit (does He find fruit in our life)
He was disappointed (He really wants us to bear fruit)
He pronounced judgement on the tree (serious)
The tree withered away
We need to have our eye on Him
We are here to serve Him (the one who has rescued us)
He expects much (because He gives much)
We can serve Him well
(He not only knows what we can do He will help us do it)
We can lose much
Not only can we lose much, we should know the rewards are also great and
We can gain much souls are at stake souls in the balance
Are we "tied up" just standing around and waiting to be released?
Do we realize our capabilities in helping the Lord?
What fruit are we bearing for Christ?
Are we seeking His best, or are we seeking what pleases us?
