Crossroads

We all look forward to things. Birthdays, Christmas, vacations, graduation, ball games, dates. We all have things that we're excited about and we go to them with great expectations. These events are normally a once a year thing, or a every once in a while thing, or a once in a life time thing. The things that we do every day of our life, we're not that excited about. "What's the big deal, it's just my job", "It's the same thing every day, go to class, blah blah blah". "Well, it's Sunday, I guess it's time to go to church". I think we're missing out on something.

When God called us into His family, and we accepted the call, something special happened... The Gift of Eternal Life. Not something you got at the mall, or something your friend gave you, it is a gift that no one but He could give. That eternal life began when you died to self and gave your life to Him. In Matthew 18:20 it says "where 2 or more are gathered in My name, I will be there". Jesus Christ is here to meet with us corpratley each time we come to church. Shouldn't we be excited about that?

A couple months ago, the governor of Alabama was a guest in our church. People came from all over to see him and to be seen. Folks showed up hours early just so they could see him. I love an repect the man, but... he's a man. Each week we slowly get up and amble into church, plop down on the seat and watch our watches until it's time to leave. So I guess I have to ask the question, Who did we come to see? As you get ready for church, when ever you go, remember who's going to be there. Go with Great Expectations!
