Enemies, Jesus, Jesus Sayings, Matthew 5, Right

Jesus is Life

I have enemies. Jesus knows that and is clear on it. I have done things to offend others. They don’t forget.

They may not know we are different now because of Jesus. They may know and not care. They are out for blood.

Jesus lets me know it doesn’t matter. It is up to me to make things right. I must make the first move.

That is my job. That is God’s goal for me. The focus is on “making things right”. That is the criteria.

In God’s world, I can’t sit passively by waiting for the other person to make the move.

If an old enemy accosts you. Don’t lose a minute. Make the first move; make things right with him..” ~~Jesus (Matthew 5:25-26 The Message)

"Being a little more right than the masses ultimately pays off in the long run." ~Seth Godin

Right standing with God

Jesus calls on us to be on the right side of God and his world (Kingdom).

This world is at odds with Jesus. Everything is upside down with the first being last and the last being first.

Being right with God is the only thing that is important. Jesus is the way.

Rule of thumb: being first helps in the short run. Being a little more right than the masses ultimately pays off in the long run. Being last is the worst of all three.

God is God.

God makes things right. God is the only one who can.

I clearly can’t. Justice isn’t within my grasp.

God is a God of justice. Jesus, the Messiah, has been given all authority and is committed to God like no other.

God will make things right. I can count on that.

I thank God for that. I am eternally grateful.

I’m thanking God, who makes things right.
I’m singing the fame of heaven-high God.

John Wooden

We get in a rush. We are under pressure. We procrastinated and now don’t have enough time to do it right.

Doing it right is more important than doing it. Jesus challenges us to do it God’s way, the right way.

Let’s get it right.

If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over? ~John Wooden

God's Goal, Jesus, Right, Thomas Huxley

There are things that matter and there are things that don’t. Our focus should be on “what is right”.

Concentrate on what God wants us to do. That is the main thing.

It is not who is right, but what is right, that is of importance. ~Thomas Huxley

The time is right

We shouldn’t have to struggle with this but we do. Now is the time to do what is right. The harvest is ready.

Now is the time to love. Now is the time to love God. Now is the time to love our neighbors. There is no other time but now.

Jesus challenges us proclaim the good news. No need to wait.

What is right? Love is right. The time is right to love.

Right Train

This is so very important. Think about it.

Am I on the right train? Am I following Jesus?

If I am on the wrong train, I need to get off. I need to get off now.

May I be on the right train.

Radical Sayings of Jesus

God gives us the truth. Jesus is clear about what God expects.

Jesus challenges us to radical and passionate about God’s mission in our life.

When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Father, God is God, Right

God is God

Our Father would rather do it right than do it quick! He is in the “doing it right” business.

Now, in a culture of “I want it now”, that may come as a shock.

He knows what He is doing. He is doing it right. He is doing it. I can count on that. He is a strong man. Mighty in every way.

God is God and doing right. I must lean in to hear God and what He wants. It is not about what I want but what God wants.

Nothing is impossible with God.

He so ROCKS.

Astonish, Mark Twain, Quote, Right

Mark Twain

Focusing on what God wants is an amazing thing. It has always been this way and always will.

Some won’t appreciate it for sure. Others will be astonished and will see that is an absolutely perfect God who brings this about.

Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
—–Mark Twain (1835 – 1910)
