Pastor Burton's Daily Message

Good morning. Have you caught Olympic Fever yet? How do you know? Well, you start watching sports you're not that familiar with and cheering for people you've never heard of! Enjoy!
 
Philippians 1:21 (New Living Translation)
21 For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better.
 
Paul puts things in an awesome way here. No matter what we do, we need to do it in Christ, for God and led by Holy Spirit. To live for Christ is to do everything in our lives with that guiding principle that we saw on wristbands several years ago. WWJD, "What Would Jesus Do" if he we in our place and time? "What Would Jesus Do" if he were in my shoes and situations? When you look at life from that perspective it changes how you operate, and it can also inspire us. The Bible tells us how Jesus lived his life, how he reached out to people and ultimately how he defeated our enemy, as well as sin and death. Because of his life we have victory and powerful strength for life. Paul really changes things up a little when he writes that "dying is even better." I'm not sure I would have written those words, but they are true. If we live in Christ, then death is not something we should fear. We will be with him in heaven, for eternity, relieved from any pain and suffering we may have experienced in our lives here on earth. Jesus, on the cross and out of the grave showed that nothing can separate us from God and nothing is impossible through God. Let us live as those who know this as a fact! Show it in your daily lives!
