T.G.I.F. at the Finest |
Every Thursday at the Finest |
The young boy looked up at his grandfather and wondered aloud, "Grandpa, how do you live for Jesus?" The respected grandfather stooped down and quietly told the boy, "Just watch." As the years went by, the grand-father was an example to the boy of how to follow Jesus. He stayed rock-steady in living for Him. Yet the grandson often lived in a way that was not pleasing to God. One day the young man visited his grandfather for what both knew would be the last time. As the older man lay dying, his grandson leaned over the bed and heard his grandpa whisper, "Did you watch?" That was the turning point in the boy's life. He understood that when his grandpa had said, "Just watch," he meant, "Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ" (1 Corinthians 11:1). He vowed that from then on he would live as his grandfather didstriving to please Jesus. He had watched, and now he knew how to live. Is somebody watching you? Are there younger Christians who need to see that it is possible to live for Jesus every day and in every way? Challenge themand yourself. Challenge them to "just watch." Then show them the way.
