OC March 25th
“…the best man is simply glad to stand with him and hear his vows.”
John 3:29 NLT
Title - “Maintaining the Proper Relationship”
Underlines:
“Goodness and purity should never be traits that draw attention to themselves, but… to Jesus Christ.”
“…maintain a vital connection with Jesus Christ…”
“Only occasionally it is a matter of obedience.”
“At those times when a crisis arises, we have to find out what God’s will is. Yet most of our life is not spent in trying to be consciously obedient, but in maintaining this relationship - being the ‘friend of the bridegroom.’”
Notes:
-maintain a relationship with Him - utmost importance. Him more, me less
-be a true friend, a best man.
It is an honor to be asked to be a best man in someone’s wedding. It is also very clear that you are there in a support role and not the center of attention. Is your relationship with Christ like that? Or are you wanting a little of the glory?
