We take the Gospel for granted to the point where we don’t value it. We show up
to worship, when it’s convenient. Engage in community, if we feel like it. Read the
Bible, if we have time. Serve, when there’s nothing better to do. We are too comfortable neglecting, ignoring, and deprioritizing Jesus for the myriad of other things in
our lives. We can’t hide behind the excuse of busyness.
When we say we are too busy to do what Jesus has explicitly called us to do what we
are actually saying is: my life, time, priorities are more important than His. My comfort is more important than His mission. In our comfortable society, we are more
likely to try and fit Jesus into the leftover scraps of our free time then we are to truly
devote ourselves to Him.
WE ARE FAR TOO COMFORTABLE MAKING EXCUSES FOR WHY WE
DON’T HAVE TO DO WHAT JESUS TELLS US TO DO.
