Christ’s Corner

Joshua 4:21 And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?

We Christians need to be ready to answer any questions our children ask us. We need to be ready to witness for our LORD anytime, to anybody. There will come a time when we will be questioned; why we go to church, what do that cross mean, and, tell me the story of Jesus. 

 

Could you answer those three simple questions friends?

The LORD , in this verse, was telling Joshua that folks need a reminder. We need something to remind us of who we are and where we came from. Like wise, we should remember what we were and where our LORD has brought us from. God told Joshua to pile up twelve stones to remember the twelve tribes of Israel crossing the Jordan river on dry land.

We need something to remind us of what God has done for us. Many churches give out a certificate to newly baptized converts. Trophies are given when a certain level of growth or goal or study has been reached. Those are reminders of what a person has accomplished.

 

I wear a small silver cross on a necklace to remind me of three things; first, Jesus is in my heart, second, to bear (or carry) my cross and live for Jesus every day, finally, it reminds me that Jesus died on a cross, was buried and arose leaving that cross empty. 

 

Do you have anything to remind you of the work Jesus has done in you?
