The Teaching of Christ

Psalms 117,119:81-176; 2 John; 3 John 

“It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father commanded us…Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.”

2 John 4, 9

The teaching of Christ, his life as a disciple of the Father, his obedience unto death as an atoning sacrifice for our sin, his resurrection and promised second coming to bring full restoration to all of creation, this teaching is the truth that sets us free. When we see disciples of Christ that we have invested in walking in this truth they have found in Christ, we, too, are filled with joy. Running ahead of these truths to secondary teachings that in God’s Word are disputable is a distraction that will weaken our relationship with the Father and the Son.

Are we focused on Jesus, or have disputable topics grabbed our attention?

“Lord Jesus, you have my attention, and I choose to walk with you in your truth, for your glory.”
