They will not serve the MASTER

Many claim to be Christians, they say they believe in Jesus but they don't really know who Jesus is. Paul wrote in Colossians 1:15 “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16For in Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. (HE IS TALKING ABOUT JESUS) 17He is BEFORE ALL THINGS, and IN HIM ALL THINGS HOLD TOGETHER.18He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself might come to have first place in everything. 19For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, 20and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven. 21And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, 22yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach— 23IF INDEED YOU CONTINUE IN THE FAITH firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard,”

That is JESUS! He is the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY! He is the image of God. People disregard Jesus, they will not serve Him as King as Lord, as Master. They will not submit themselves to Him and be part of the body of Christ because they do not realize who He is.

We read in Hebrews 1:8 God says of Him:” but of the Son he says:, THY THRONE, O GOD, IS FOR EVER AND EVER; AND THY RIGHTEOUS SCEPTRE IS THE SCEPTRE OF HIS KINGDOM.

9THOU HAST LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND HATED LAWLESSNESS; THEREFORE GOD, THY GOD, HATH ANOINTED THEE WITH THE OIL OF GLADNESS ABOVE THY COMPANIONS.

10AND, THOU, LORD, IN THE BEGINNING DIDST LAY THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH, AND THE HEAVENS ARE THE WORKS OF THY HANDS:

11THEY WILL PERISH; BUT THOU REMAINEST: THEY WILL BECOME OLD AS A GARMENT;

12AND AS A MANTLE SHALT THOU WILL ROLL THEM UP, AS A GARMENT, AND WILL ALSO BE CHANGED: BUT THOU ART THE SAME, AND THY YEARS WILL NOT COME TO AN END.”

People do not realize who Jesus really is and therefor they disregard Him. He is the Head but yet they disregard Him, they will not serve Him as Lord. They want salvation but they will not submit themselves to Jesus. He sent us the Holy Spirit to guide each and every one of us into that for which He has called us, people are not interested and that is why VERY, VERY FEW OF THOSE WHO CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS ARE ACTUALLY PART OF THE BODY OF CHRIST! They do not know the ONE in whom they have believed, to them Jesus is not real. He is not their Lord, they do not honor Him. They do not serve Him, they do not obey Him they WILL NOT FOLLOW HIM. THEY THEMSELVES ARE THEIR OWN GOD! That is why He will say to so many of them:”Go away I never knew you!” because they served themselves, they never served Jesus.

Do you know who Jesus is? Do you know Him as LORD and do you serve Him as LORD? He IS the KING of kings and He IS the LORD of lords. Bow down before Him, seek Him, serve Him, worship Him. People worship people, they want fellowship with other people, they are NOT INTERESTED IN FELLOWSHIP WITH JESUS, FELLOWSHIP WITH THE LIVING GOD, because they don't know who He is. Do YOU know who Jesus is? Are you following HIM and are you giving Him the glory and the honor that is due to Him? Are you part of the body of Christ who is submitted to the MASTER and serving HIM, from the heart? Is Jesus your LORD?

May Jesus bless you.
