Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
Acts 4:13
We are approaching (Lord willing) another New Year. We stand at the threshold of opportunities. Opportunities to walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16) and thus bearing the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Opportunities to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Opportunities to abide in Christ Jesus (John 15:1-11). Opportunities to preach and proclaim the Gospel (Mark 16:5). These are just a few that can be considered. We have an opportunity to leave a mark in this world for the Glory of God and the cause of Christ. What mark do you endeavor to leave behind with the upcoming time that the Lord allows you in 2017.
Our opening verse is one of my favorites. This is the mark I want to leave behind throughout the upcoming year, "They took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus." In my home I want my wife to be able to say,"He has been with Jesus." When I am Preaching, Singing and praying in a revival meeting, conference or a special Sunday I want the people to be able to say, "He has been with Jesus." When I gather with family or friends I want all to be able to say, "He has been with Jesus." That is the mark I want to leave!
I took the photo at Hoover Dam in the summer of 2013. It struck me how the mark was prominent for all to see. I pray that we all have a desire to live in such a way that all around us will see that we have been with Jesus!
