Manifesting Messiah

Show-Em
When my friend was five, he cut out little pieces of cardboard and pasted them together to make a bus with windows, wheels, and little seats. He put it in his back pocket to bring it to school for show-and- tell. When it was time, he stood up and reached into his pocket to proudly display his cardboard bus, but all he found were cardboard pieces. It was demolished, having been sat upon; his first great scholastic achievement was destroyed. He ended up telling them all about the bus instead of showing them. He was all tell and no show. Show-and- tell is also our first big assignment as children of God. It's a crucial part of the Great Commission. We're told to love not only in word, but in deed. You're to tell the world the Gospel, but that's not enough-you have to show them the Gospel. Show them Messiah in your life, your home, your manner, your emotions, your relationships, your joy, your love, the way you treat others, and in your peace. They won't be able to help seeing. It's as simple as show-and- tell.

Today's Mission
Today, don't only speak Messiah, show Messiah in everything you do. Make your life a show-and- tell about Messiah.

Colossians 3:17
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness. Let the Word of Christ—the Message—have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. Instruct and direct one another using good common sense. And sing, sing your hearts out to God! Let every detail in your lives—words, actions, whatever—be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY AND WEEKEND!!
