Topic:
Our Response To Failure
What do we do when we fail? What do we do when our business fails,
our marriage fails, or our child rearing fails? What do we do when we
fail on our job, we fail to build our church, we fail to conform our
life to Christ, or we fail to resist temptation? Do we give up, cut our
losses, and declare bankruptcy? Do we throw in the towel when we are
beaten? Do we surrender when everything falls apart? Do we turn tail and
run and then lie to ourselves about what we wanted in the first place?
Jesus gave out a message of love, hope, and salvation upon the earth,
but people did not receive His message. Only a few people believed Him
then and only a few people believe Him now. In worldly terms, it would
seem His life and His sacrifice was a failure. What do we do when we
fail? Do we give up? Did Christ give up? Has Christ given up on us? If
Christ had given up on us He would not have come back from being in the
tomb. Although we fail, we must not give up because Christ will not give
up on us. We depend upon God, and God depends upon us to do His work in
love. Alone we are nothing without Him. To succeed we must be willing to
receive from God while God gives to us. To succeed we must be willing to
give our all for God despite the consequences to us.
