LOVE IS EXPRESSED BY ACTIONS - LETS SERVE!!

" For the love of Christ controls and urges and impels us, because we are of the opinion and conviction that [if] One died for all, then all died; 15 And He died for all, so that all those who live might live no longer to and for themselves, but to and for Him Who died and was raised again for their sake." 2 Corinthians 5 vs 14-15 AMP

I just marvel at how the Lord Jesus Christ obeyed and stayed committed to The Father's purpose for His life and He knew that He was gonna die like that *sad* and also knew that He'll rise again *smile*, but most importantly it is the Father's love for us that compelled Him to fulfill His purpose. I'll always be grateful to the Lord because He obeyed, imagine if He had changed His mind in the process, yoh!. How ironic that most of the time we wana do what we want NOT what God wants. *Ayi, I'm just saying nje* "Jesus said to them, My food (nourishment) is to do the will (pleasure) of Him Who sent Me and to accomplish and completely finish His work." John 4 vs 34. TJO!!!! *This should be our attitude * In other words, He considered NOT Himself but focused on completing what He was sent to DO. These scriptures say to me 'the tables have turned', ".. the Love of Christ compels,controls/urges/impels ME...and I live not for myself anymore.." This means I consider not myself, I should not be selfish and do what I want. Ha-a,it is NOT about me. It is all about JESUS. It is all about His commandments, He is my Lord/Master, therefore, I do what He says. If He could lay down His life for us, there is clearly more benefits (for us) to do the same as He did, forgetting about ourselves and focusing on the mandate He gave us, which is; "And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach and publish openly the good news (the Gospel) to every creature [of the whole human race]" Mark 16 vs 15

The good news is the good news, tell people about the full package of salvation, the Life that The Lord Jesus Christ has made available for all. This is the mandate of every christian, and we do this NOT because of fear or compulsion BUT because... "The Love of Christ compels us.." He died for us, What more could a person do to prove His love.. Open your heart and receive, so that you can serve! Love always!
