Start at the Cross!

John 20:21-22

"So Jesus said to them again, “PEACE BE WITH YOU; AS THE FATHER HAS SENT ME, I ALSO SEND YOU.” And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, “RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT."

"OUR STARTING POINT DIRECTLY IMPACTS OUR DESTINATION!"

"IF WE START AT SELF, THEN SADLY, SELF WILL ULTIMATELY FOCUS ON SELFISH THINGS & CAUSE US TO REBEL AGAINST THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST!"

"WE WILL INSIST ON OUR NEEDS BEING MET & IGNORE THE NEEDS OF OTHERS!"

"BUT THIS IS NOT THE PATH THE LORD DESIRES FOR US TO CHOOSE!"

Jesus said;

"COME TO ME!"

"I AM THE WAY!"

"I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD!"

This means that;

"OUR STARTING POINT IS JESUS!"

"WHEN OUR STARTING POINT IS JESUS, THEN OUR FOCUS WILL BE TO COMPLETE THE TASK HE HAS GIVEN US!"

"WE WILL DESIRE HIS LORDSHIP & TEND TO THE NEEDS OF THE MANY ABOVE OUR OWN!"

"KNOWING WITH FULL CONFIDENCE THAT OUR HEAVENLY FATHER WILL SUPPLY ALL OUR NEEDS AS WE TAKE CARE OF HIS BUSINESS HERE ON EARTH!"
