Baggage
When
my church was building a new sanctuary a schematic was placed on an easel showing
an architectural drawing. As our pastor
shared he said the architect must have used a computer program for an airport
terminal showing people coming toward the church from the parking lot. Those coming from the parking lot were
pulling suitcases behind them. The
thought struck me that this is so appropriate.
Is not the church the place to bring life’s “baggage?” Life’s cares. The
secret is to leave life’s “baggage” at the altar, thereby releasing the burdens
of life. How many of us take the same
cares home after service instead of leaving them with Jesus? Maybe the church is more like a terminal that
we realize. Check your baggage at the
altar releasing it to heaven and leaving with the cares of the world lifted
from our shoulders. When we leave our
burdens with Jesus it releases our spirit to be set free. Thank you Jesus for Your provision for freedom.
Matthew
11:28 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you
rest.”
