What happens if As I allow Christ to infiltrate my entire life? What happens if I allow him to make himself at home inside my life? What happens if I allow him to load the hole? If As I say, "Jesus, take control of my entire life," what happens?
Let's get hold of relevant here, because there are some things that we need to understand out of Luke, Chapter 15, because of the lost sheep and this lost coin. God can be an initiative-taker. God doesn't sit back. God does not rest on his staff and sip lattes. God can be an initiative-taker.
It's a win-win work. Right up front, where you are changes. Isn't this cool? You have heaven locked down, because the Bible says we will spend eternity in either one of two places. And the minute we bow the leg to Christ, and he plugs in the hole in our lives, we have a new location in heaven forever. Also, check this out, Christ has a new home. He moves into your daily life.
Go back to Genesis, Section 3. Adam and Eve committed cosmic treason. That they sinned before God. Once they sinned before God, don't know what they did? People played hide and seek with God. They tried to hide from him. They realized we were looking at naked. They realized their guilt.
Here is precisely what the Bible says. Christ said these words, Kim 14: 23, "If anyone loves me, he can obey my teaching. My father will love him, and we will come to him together with make our home with him."
I remember when my son was about three years old, we used to play hide and seek together. He would hide inside same place every sole time, under the steps. He would cover their eyes and he imagined because he couldn't see me that I couldn't see him. That's how you look when we try to hide from God.
This can be a cool part about this. It's your loneliness, it's my loneliness, it's your emptiness, it's my emptiness, it's your incompleteness, it's my incompleteness, that God functions to draw us to Christ. We would do not ever move toward Christ.
Ed Young tells us that we'd never paddle toward Christ. We would never realize there is a hole in our come up with unless we experienced these kind of feelings of loneliness, together with these feelings of remoteness.
