I have an old, ratty wind-up timer (much more grungy than the one above). I love that thing. It's face often. falls off in my hand or onto the kitchen floor I've bought newer ones--a bright red apple, a fun yellow chicken to name a few. But none of them work as well or have that same familiar "ding" that reminds me of baking cookies with my mom when I could barely see over the counter to frost them.
Some people might think I'm silly for using something that's probably an antique. They might be the same people who think the words of Jesus are obsolete, or only for His contemporaries. Yet Jesus's words contain powerful truths that are always relevant.
"Don't keep the children from coming to Me. You need to become child-like if you want to be part of My kingdom."
"Take the speck out of your own eye first; then you can see clearly to help your neighbor with their faults."
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can get to God apart from Me."
"I came to give you life, and life in all its fulness, till it overflows."
"Don't be afraid."
"Take the speck out of your own eye first; then you can see clearly to help your neighbor with their faults."
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can get to God apart from Me."
"I came to give you life, and life in all its fulness, till it overflows."
"Don't be afraid."
That's what I mean. Timeless. Words of life. Words to live by. That's Jesus for ya.
Do you have a favorite saying of Jesus that helps you live life to the full?
