The love of Christ controls us.

If you are a follower of Christ, can you honestly say this morning that Jesus controls you? Think about it for a moment and then read these verses:



2 Corinthians 5:14-15



14 For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.



When we submit to Jesus, He then has control over everything in our lives. So does He? The places you go, the words that come out of your mouth, the love you show others, the food you put in your body (you body is the temple of the Holy Spirit), how you spend your time, what you watch on TV, your prayer life, your bible study time, sharing the gospel, and the list goes on and on. To be honest here I do well in some areas and not so well in others. The key is to be striving to be more and more in the control of Jesus everyday!



Jesus died for us and was raised from the dead so that we who have called upon the name of Jesus as Lord no longer live for ourselves but for Jesus. Don't give Jesus a little of you, He wants it all!!!!
