Pastor's meditation... DAVE ENGBRECHT, PASTOR Nappanee Missionary Church What will people think? Often times in making our decisions our primary concern is “what will people think?” We weigh our words, actions, and motives on the basis of other’s evaluations. Although that is often a valid concern, there are much more important questions that need to be asked, “What is right and best?” and “What will please God?” In Matthew 12, the Pharisees were seeking to find fault with Jesus. They finally had found their evidence- Jesus had broken the Sabbath law by picking com. Although Jesus did this to provide food for his disciples, in their eyes he had broken the Sabbath law. The issue .vas clear for the Pharisees, Jesus was not a law-abiding Jew. He had broken God’s law. Seeking to further indict Jesus, the Pharisees questioned Jesus about the possibility of healing on the Sabbath. When' Jesus answered their question by healing a lame man, the Pharisees sought to kill Jesus. Jesus did not operate his ministry by the world’s principles. He failed miserably to win friends and influence people. His failure to win friends ultimately cost Him His life. But His goal was not popularity. He was not seeking affirmation from His peers, but from His heavenly Father. His goal was to do the will of His Father. “So we make it our goal to please God” is the challenge from II Corinthians 5:9. Just as Jesus sought to please the heavenly Father, so might we make it our goal to please God. May our prayer for today be, “Lord, help us to recognize that our goal in life is to please you. May we never comprimise our principles and convictions by desiring to please others instead of you. Give us the courage to do what is right rather than what is easy.”
