Kolossenserbrevet 4: Vær betænksomme i jeres
relationer med dem, der ikke hører Herren til, så I får mulighed
for at fortælle dem om Kristus. Vær altid venlige og imødekommende,
så de får lyst til at tale med jer. Tænk over, hvordan I bedst kan
svare på deres spørgsmål. Jesus fortalte kvinden ved brønden om
det Levende vand - men hun svarede du har jo ingen spand - hun
forstod ikke hvad Jesus sagde - for hun var jordisk af dage.
Men Jesus talte ikke om det jordiske vand - men om det
Levende Himmelske Vand - og dertil behøver man ingen spand - man ved
tro det modtage kan.
Mennesker forstår i sig selv - ikke det Himmelske Væld
- vi må fødes på ny for at kunne se og forstå - at vi til Jesus
må gå.
Så Han de levende Vandstrømme kan os give - så vi kan
blive - nye skabninger på jord - hvori det Sande Liv gror.
Når vi vil tage imod i tro - og slippe al vor vantro -
så vil Gud åbenbare - for os Hans Ord så klare.
Ånden i os må vækkes til live - så vi kan blive - i
stand til at forstå - at i os selv kan vi aldrig til Himmelen nå.
Nå til Himmelens Land - og drikke af det Levende Vand -
vores synd spærrer vejen for os - sammen med al vor trods.
Men Jesus på korset sonede vore synd og satte os fri -
og det gjorde Han fordi - Hans kærlighed til os er stor - derfor kom
Han her til jord.

BE CONSIDERABLE IN RELATIONSHIPS
WITH OTHERS
Colossians 4: Be considerate of
your relationships with those who do not belong to the Lord, so that
you may be able to tell them about Christ. Always be kind and
welcoming so they will want to talk to you. Think about how you can
best answer their questions. Jesus told the woman at the Well of the
Living Water - but she answered you have no bucket - she did not
understand what Jesus said - for she was earthly for days.
But Jesus did not speak of the
earthly water - but of the Living Heavenly Water - and for that you
do not need a bucket - by faith it can receive.
Humans understand in themselves -
not the Heavenly Power - we must be born again to see and understand
- that we must go to Jesus.
So He the living streams of water
can give us - so that we can become - new creatures on earth - in
which True Life dwells.
When we want to receive in faith -
and let go of all our unbelief - then God will reveal - to us His
Word so clear.
The spirit within us must be
brought to life - so that we can become - able to understand - that
in ourselves we can never reach Heaven.
Reaching to the Land of Heaven -
and drinking of the Living Water - our sin is blocking the way for us
- along with all our spite.
But Jesus on the cross atoned for
our sin and set us free - and He did because - His love for us is
great - that's why He came here to earth.
