~ 7 Christian Direct Involvements With Their Savior ~
Walking With Him (companionship) ~ “Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was seven miles from Jerusalem. And they talked together of all these things which had happened. So it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them” (Luke 24:13-15).
Talking To Him (fellowship) ~ “Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray. As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening. And behold, two men talked with Him, who were Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of His decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem” (Luke 9:28-31).
Listening To Him (instruction) ~ “Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word” (Luke 10:38-39).
Abiding With Him (joy and peace) ~ “Jesus said to them, ‘Come and see.’ They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour)” (John 1:39).
Living With Him (oneness) ~ “Jesus said to them, ‘Come and see.’ They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour)” (John 1:39).
Waiting On Him (power) ~ “And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness” (Acts 4:31).
Watching For Him (expectancy) ~ “So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him” (Luke 8:40).
additional note ~ For us today our Lord’s command is clear, “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming” (Matthew 24:42).
