Keeping Our Eyes On Jesus!

 Matthew Ch.7 vs. 15 "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves".

As Jesus instructs his disciples and sends them to the lost as a witness to heaven, he gives them guidelines to follow. One being Matthew, Ch.10 vs.16 "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves." He knows the world in which they are instructed to witness in will have those who are imposters, yet he encourages his disciples and us not to get discouraged, but to keep pressing on and spreading his word, giving hope for this life and our life to come.

In the natural it is easy to get discouraged when we see evil and bad exist in the name of religion, but his word says that we are to keep our eyes on him and not fret, because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.

The parable of the seeds is also given saying the sower knows not what will take root, but that we as his disciples are to keep planting seeds with an understanding that there will be good and bad that spring up together, but there will come a day when they will be separated. Luke Ch. 17 vs. 34-36. Talks about two in bed, in the field and working together, yet one is taken and the other is left.

So keep the faith and keep pressing on, for in a day when you know not, the Son of man will return to judge the living and the dead, judging not the outward, but the inward heart of man. Help us to be counted as worthy servants doing the will of the Father that is in heaven.
