I don’t always follow Jesus like I should. That is my confession for this morning. There are times in my life when I am simply not following faithfully. In particular, I don’t really like the idea of suffering. Sometimes I do everything I can to avoid it, even if it means not obeying Christ. I struggle with pride and lack of recognition. I have a hard time accepting other followers of Christ who don’t believe exactly like I do. I get angry when people reject me, especially when I think I am right (which is most of the time, another symptom of my pride). I don’t always like how much it costs to follow after Jesus. In short, I just don’t always follow Him like I should. How about you? Do you ever struggle in these areas?
Last week we began this series by looking at what the Bible has to say concerning homosexuality. We concluded that the Bible teaches that such behavior is sinful and in violation of God’s instructions concerning sexuality. Yet, it is not the only way to violate God’s commands about sex and it is not somehow worse than other violations. It is, like all sins, a sin that can be forgiven by the blood of Christ. Thus, we are called as believers to point any and all to the finished work of Christ at the cross.
