WHAT DO THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS REALLY MEAN TO ME? March 15

"Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like" [Luke 6:47] There follows the story of a man carefully building a house and digging deep and finding a rock on which to base foundations. So when all was complete "a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it because it had been well built" [Luke 6:48]
Now this parable begins with Jesus saying, "Why do you call me, 'Lord, lord and not do the things that I tell you?" [Luke 6:46]. We all need to ask ourselves – what do the teachings of Jesus really mean to me? Do I live in a way that shows I believe in them?
We are being buffeted by the storms of Godless human behaviour as never before, it is becoming a tsunami of Godlessness. But look at the difference between the natural and the spiritual.
We are frightened by violent weather. But when it comes to a flood of immoral behaviour, many seem to welcome it, and, maybe more deadly still, many enjoy indulging in splashing in the shallows, ignoring the awesome flood of God's judgments that is promised.
Ancient Israel fooled themselves thinking; well God is in our midst, we go to the Temple to worship, "we lean on the Lord" - but the prophet Micah said to them, you "detest justice and make crooked all that is straight" [Micah 5:9] yet you then "lean on the LORD and say, 'is not the LORD in the midst of us ? No disaster shall come upon us.' Therefore because of you Zion shall be plowed as a field; and Jerusalem shall become a heap of ruins …" [Micah 5:11,12]
The spiritual failure in which they fooled themselves that the Lord was with them led to the realisation, too late, that their personal spiritual house was not built upon a spiritual rock. History is set to repeat itself – the same call goes out now as is it did then! Note the message God sent through the prophet Zephaniah.
"Seek the LORD all you humble of the land who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden in the day of the anger of the LORD." [Zephaniah 2:3]
