NCTA at Curtis

Over the past several months we have met a handful of men in Curtis Nebraska who have a heart for college students. We are fortunate to know these guys, and to have the opportunity to work alongside them this year at the local community college. One of the men, Lee, just wrote this to the students:

In Matthew 26:40 we read where our Lord Jesus told the disciples to ‘watch with me’. He knew what was to come. He knew the agony the disciples would face separated from Him; He knew the excruciating trial that was before Him and He told the men ‘watch with me’. He tells you and me that same thing today. He knows the trials in life. He knows our tendency to chase so many schemes to find happiness and significance apart from Him. He knows our heart and He loves us. And…we have a role to watch WITH Him. He invites us to join Him yet we would rather HE watch over us, He reveal Himself to us, He serve us. So we watch FOR Him not with Him.

Jesus invites you to watch with Him. To stand in the gap for fellow believers and tell the good news of His salvation to unbelievers; to face the trails of our lives and stand with others in the trials of their lives. Yes, it will cost you something. Your faith isn’t worth anything if serving the Lord doesn’t cost you something. This world tells you there is no consequence to ignoring what must be done. Have you bought into that?

What will it cost you? Everything. What will you gain? Do you know? There is no comparison.

Has God spoken into the darkness of your life yet? As He did in His wondrous act of creation let Him speak into the darkness of your life or be the voice of Him to speak into the darkness of another’s life and bring order out the chaos and turmoil that this life can bring.

But first we must watch with Him.Are you at your post?
