1 John 5
TAKE A GUESS

Have people ever guessed what sort of job you do? I worked as a mechanical engineer getting my hands dirty in an engineering workshop. During those years I was privileged to have neighbours guess at what I do for a living. Three guesses stood out for me.

The first thought I was a postman because I would ride my antique postman-style bicycle to work each day. The other two guesses were neighbours who assumed I was a pastor or worked at a church because they saw us heading to church several times a week. What a compliment! However, I am hoping it was Jesus they could see in me, and not just another religious nut!

John said, “If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God that he has borne concerning his Son. Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself.” (1 John 5 v 9 – 10 ESV). In other words, if we show ourselves to be followers of men, we are pretty average. But if we carry the testimony of Jesus Christ in us, and if Jesus shines out from our everyday lives, that is a great thing.

Let’s make sure that Jesus shows in our lives, so that no matter what people think we do, they will know that we are Christians.

May we show Jesus in the way we live today.

With love in our Lord
Robert
