Not afraid to be different!

Once again I have been reminded this week that the life of a follower of Jesus Christ is supposed to be different from those who do not love Jesus. In Ephesians we find again that although there is a constant tendency to display to the world that we are just like the world....and yet we are not to be seeking the approval of the world. As a follower of Jesus Christ, I should be different from the world. In fact...I need to be concerned if I'm not different. Inside each follower of Jesus Christ lives the best Christian that ever lived......Yes...inside of you as a follower of Jesus Christ. Jesus lives in you and is eagerly desiring to live out his life through you. It comes from the renewal of your mind and you think differently and therefore live differently.
I encourage you, as a follower of Jesus, to not be afraid to live differently! Remember....the greatest Christian in all the world lives inside of you. Identify with Him.....Think about the things that are pleasing to him...and do those things. Those things might, will likely be different than the rest of the people living around you. Don't be afraid of doing that and allowing Jesus to live out in your life each day, each moment.
Let Jesus live in your life from the inside out.
Blessings,
Pastor Brian
