If we follow any kind of sports at all, we know that fans can change like the weather. For example, a football team”s star quarterback can hear 70,000 cheering and screaming voices if he does well by throwing touchdown passes “ or 70,000 booing voices if he fumbles the football on the one-yard line.<\/p>\n
Sports figures can easily fall from the grace of their fans, because folks are fickle “ they are eager to follow the one who makes them feel good, yet willing to turn against that same person if all does not go well.<\/p>\n
Scripture contains an example of fickleness that is far more serious. A great multitude in Jerusalem praised, honored, and cheered Jesus on the Sunday He entered the city riding on a donkey (Matthew 21:6-11). But just a few days later, some of those same people may have been in the crowd calling for Jesus” crucifixion (Matthew 27:20-23). On Sunday they worshipped Him, but on Friday they didn”t want Him around anymore.<\/p>\n
Brethren, let”s not waver in our relationship with the Lord (James 4:7-8 – NKJV). Sometimes we worship the Lord heartily on Sunday, but the very next day we live as though we’ve never known Him (cf. Matthew 26:30-35; Matthew 26:69-75). Or we tell Him on Sunday that we love Him, but then we fail to obey Him throughout the week (Matthew 7:21; Luke 6:46; John 14:15; John 15:10).<\/p>\n
Let’s not be fickle followers of Jesus, but allow Him and His teachings to permeate our lives and living every day<\/strong> of the week “ not just on Sunday (cf. Acts 5:42; Acts 17:11; Hebrews 3:13).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If we follow any kind of sports at all, we know that fans can change like the weather.
