There is only one reason why God would leave us on Earth after we are saved and that is to light the candle of His passion to burn within us so we can reflect the very love of Jesus. The work of God is to save the lost and we are the candle of Jesus's love

The religion of Bethsaida opens our eyes to the miracles of Jesus but only in measure. This religion sees the body of Christ as something that can personally profit them. There are many who pursue Jesus today but their pursuits are for the wrong reasons. The pursuit of this religion is for power and fame and lust. The miraculous power of God comes upon us to be filled with compassion and to reach out to a poor and needy society and gives us eyes to see people as Jesus does. What are you pursuing Christ for and how do you see people?

We sometimes reason with the question, "if God is God why does there have to be any sufferings on our behalf?" At the Last Supper Jesus offered Judas an opportunity to enter into the fellowship of His sufferings. This would be to partake of a supernatural life for the betterment of others. There are so many Christians today that follow Jesus for what they can get from Him. What about you will you refuse the fellowship of Christ for your own gain or will you take the low road and be spent for the cause of Christ?
