We preach Him

Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily. – Colossians 1.28-29

On this Resurrection Sunday morning we celebrate to miracle of victory over death. We celebrate Jesus. We remember Jesus. We, hopefully, preach Jesus.

It is terribly sad to see what is preached from some pulpits. Men preach politics and personalities and their own agendas. The preach man’s standards instead of preaching Jesus, but it is Jesus we must preach. We don’t have to preach our own agendas or to make a point or anything else. We preach Jesus and how He realities to all of our lives.

We must preach Him from our pulpits (or now from our computers). We must preach Him to our friends and neighbours and our family. We must preach Him to those we come in contact with. We warn and teach every man with a focus on Jesus.

Easter is the perfect time to be reminded that we preach Jesus. Jesus is risen. He has crushed death to death. When He conquered death He provided life to a world lost in sin. The resurrected Christ sets a pattern for us to live a resurrected life.

He is risen. Let’s preach about Him.
