Are you ever afraid of being viewed as a
troublemaker?
And has this fear ever kept you from doing something you know was right?
I know it’s happened with me.
But consider this…
Jesus was the perfect troublemaker.
Not in the sense as we might normally think of a
troublemaker…
… As a punk at school or bully at the office…
But…
As one who made trouble for the ‘powers that be’…
Because He always went to the heart of an issue…
And always did what was good, loving and
true…
No matter how much it ran afoul of the establishment of His day.
So…
If you’re reluctant to do what’s right for fear of upsetting the status quo…
Don’t let it stop you.
Driving out the kingdom of darkness with the
kingdom of light requires this kind of troublemaking.
