NO PLACE


Matthew 8:20 (NKJV) 20 ... but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." 

    Many want to follow Jesus, but our Savior says, "I have no place." God comes crashing into mans rationale and the wreck produces a keen awareness that He is different from our expectations, this Jesus says devotion means owning nothing, following means absolute surrender.
   Within the church today, so many claim Jesus as Savior, however Lord of the life is omitted. There is an earthly presence of another Jesus. 2 Corinthians 11:4 What is wrong you ask? There is a desire for happiness without Holiness, there is fire insurance but no cleansing from sin, and a santa claus who gives things without rules we must obey. Who is this Jesus, he is the god of our choosing.
    However, Jesus the Son of God says, "... whoever loses his life for My sake will find it." Matthew 16:25 (NKJV) Finding our relationship in Jesus is as simple as letting God have all our problems and trusting Him alone. Will the trouble go away? Maybe, but the clear truth is He makes a way through our fears and doubts and we begin to walk lock step with Him! Then, "you will know the Truth and the Truth will make you free!"
Heavenly Father how we struggle with every day things help us to see that nothing in this world is of any value, help us to lay up treasures in Heaven.
