The King of Life
John 3:5-8 (New Living Translation)
5 Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit.[a] 6 Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life.[b] 7 So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You[c] must be born again.’ 8 The windblows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can’t explain how people are born of the Spirit.”
Yesterday was the memorial service of Michael Jackson, The King of Pop. Since his passing June 25th the media coverage of this sad event has completely dominated the tv stations. From interviews, videos, tributes, and trail coverage, Michael Jackson legacy has begun to shine through. Its amazing that when he was alive how much negative media coverage he received. He became known as Wacko Jacko to many and a child molester to others. No matter what people thought of him, at the end of the day he was one of the greatest performers of all time. The legacy of his music will live on forever.
What won't live on his Micheal Jackson. He didn't rise from the dead in three days, and he won't be rising again. Its amazing to me the amount of money, time and tears people who never even met this man have spent, and shed. No matter how many hit records he may have sold, he can not give uslife. People have completely sold out flights and hotel rooms to see this man in a coffin, but we don't have enough love for God to make it to church because its raining in the morning. People pass out while attending his concerts, but will sit lifeless in church under a heavy presence of God.
Like the next person I enjoyed Micheal's music but at the end of the day he was still just a human being of flesh and bone. There are reports of suicides over this man. People have given their life for a man who can't heal, fill, or save them, but God has to twist our arms to pay our tithes. America and lost its focus and we has Christians need to be careful not to follow suit.
Today as we celebrate a kings legacy, lets make sure we are celebrating the KING of life. The King that gave his life so that we may have a seat in heaven. I wonder how many people would have registered for a ticket to see King Jesus. How much money would Cavalry have spent on security and accommodations? Would we have sold out the venue for our Lord and Savior? There is only ONE way to get into heaven.......and its through the blood. Its okay to love the king of pop, but make sure you KNOW the King of life.
