The Passing Of The Torch.....

Have you  heard the saying ,"There are too many cooks in the kitchen?"
 When God looked down on Earth and saw  (too many cooks in the kitchen)total chaos, He knew He needed to intervene and make a change. He sent Jesus and Jesus was the intervention , the change. 
Jesus taught us how to take total chaos(desires of the flesh ) and use a perfect blend of grace and truth (fruits of the spirit)and make a difference.
John 14:6 "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"
 When there is a lack of compassion ,show them compassion. When there is a need for truth ,speak truth. When someone is mean show kindness, when someone is prideful be humble. Where you see a lack of something teach it by showing it to another,  over and over until they get it. 
Jesus showed us how to be relentless for another  in our teaching. They literally had to nail Jesus to the cross to stop Him from teaching . Even there on the cross He was  still  teaching  .He taught us to pass the torch.
We believers are called to be leaders and shepherds of our own flock of followers ,but good leaders are great teachers.
Jesus knew when He was on the cross   His love and passion for God was taught for the profit of God and His people. He trained others to take on His job and become  leaders. He knew He was a change, and knew it was time for us to be a change.
There are times when it seems there are too many cook in the kitchen around us,  there are times we feel like we are up against a giant, there are times we feel we need to part the waters for Gods people ,there are times we see things need to change in order to get better. Don't be afraid. God sent Jesus to show us that because of what Jesus did for us, in faith we can do now . Do the things you ask God to change in prayer. Prayer is not a question it is the answer for God to use you to intervene. Allow the gift Jesus left in you  (Holy Spirit ) to lead you to make the difference.
Matthew 7:7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be open"
. Use the passion God gives you about something and the passion in your heart to show God Jesus life was worthwhile and you understand His teaching and training  . Teach others the right way to live. Be proud to be the change in others lives and get ready to pass the torch Christ passed to you.
