Grace for your spirit July 7, 2010

Grace for your spirit
To the angel of the church in Sardis write: He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars, says this: 'I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Revelation 3:1

A preacher took a new job at a church that was dead. He wanted to spark some interest, so he put an announcement in the paper about the death of a formerly active member of the church. He didn't include the name, so on the appointed day of the funeral, all the members showed up to see who it was that had died. At the end of the service the casket was opened and people filed by to see who the dead person might be. Each looked into the casket and left shocked. The preacher had placed a mirror in the casket. When they looked at the dead member, it was them. Let's not just be church members living on a name, let's come alive and be Christians.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
