Redeeming Isa
A week ago I visited a Mosque in Winnipeg. Here is the one big idea I took away from there. As the church we need to redeem Isa.
Isa is Arabic for Jesus. The Islam faith views Jesus very different than Christians do.
Here is a quick breakdown on some of the differences:
MUSLIM: I obey-therefore I’m accepted
CHRISTIAN: I’m accepted-therefore I obey.
MUSLIM: Motivation is based on fear, guilt, shame and insecurity
CHRISTIAN: Motivation is based on grateful joy.
Do you see the difference? One is performance based, the other is grace based. We have a tremendous responsibility and privilege living under the grace of God to be His hands and feet to a broken and dying world. I pray as we go throughout our daily routine that we would take this call seriously and that God would be glorified in our lives.
1 Corinthians 10:31 - So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
