God Still Speaks

Jesus was always being harassed by the religous leaders of the day. Here again we see how they are giving him a hard time. This time though it is about Jesus calling himself the "Son of God" putting him in equal standing with God. They just couldn't accept that truth about Jesus. Do you know that much of our persecution is for the same reason. No, not that we are equal to God but because we declare that we are "sons of God". There are so many people that just can't accept us as being "sons of God". They still look at us as we used to be and live before Christ. And because we are not perfect and still miss the mark from time to time, people condemn us and judge us and say to us that we are hypocrites because we call ourselves "sons of God." I wish that it was different but its not. If God calls us light then we are light! If he calls us salt then we are salt, if he says that we are more than conquerors, thats what we are! He called us "Sons of God." It is a good thing for us to be accepted into Gods family. Even though others do not understand, we have peace and the inner knowledge that God is our father and we are His children.
