We learn that we should pursue: fame, fortune, and material possessions from the world
Jesus refutes all that we have learned - service, sacrifice, and spiritual power
- Connection to the highest places - John 1:11
- His ability to move the masses was unparalleled - Matthew 7:28
- His understanding of what it takes to succeed was clear and unwavering - John 12:23-24
- He stayed on task until it was done - John 19:30
Many of us spend more time at work than any other single place
If we aren't living the cross here, how can we be living it at all
Honest is required - may mean less money or advancement
Time commitment - it is easy to get caught up at work
Every disciple needs to work hard - but what is the reason?
- Working for a promotion
- Earn more money
- Gain material possessions
- Working for the Lord - Colossians 3:23
How could a temporary ob on earth be more important than Jesus and his work?
If we compromise at work, how will we ever overcome the world?
