Reflections From Sunday Evening

Today we talked about being "in sync" with Jesus. The illustration related to the invention of the pendulum clock. (Google Christiaan Huygene Pendulum clock). The story goes on about how he observed that clocks placed on the same shelf would synchronize together. It has been determined that slight vibrations connect the clocks and then they synchronize. We could think about how we sync our iPods, iPads, computers and other electronics but for these purpose we stay "old school" and look at pendulum clocks. The application relates to the manner in which the heart of Jesus (who is alive and well today) continues to beat. The heartbeat of Jesus is a vibration of love for people. When we connect by faith the vibration of Jesus' love for us will bring us in sync with Him. In other words our hearts will beat with the heart of Jesus. What would your life look like if your heart was beating with the heart of Jesus for... justice mercy love kindness those who do not know the Lord? We get connected by faith. Simply believe that our desire to have a connection with Christ will be honored and our lives will be synced with his. Often we seem to get "un-synced". What puts you out of sync with Jesus? Fear? Worry? Sin? We can all fill in our blanks on this one. But the good news is that the heartbeat of Jesus continues. We may connect. We may be re-synced. It's been a good day. I hope you've had a good (Mother's Day) too. steve - The "Sync" idea comes from a sermon by Leonard Sweet, "Sync It". See sermon for April 10, 2016 on preachthestory.
