#3879 – Would Jesus?

Good morning people who honour God in your entertainment

Colossians 3:17 NIV And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

There is no part of our life that should be incongruent with what Jesus would do, or that shouldn’t bring glory to the Father…and this includes our entertainment.

Right now, I am not preaching from a lofty tower of self-righteousness. In fact, I’m walking right beside you, asking the same question of myself that I am placing before us all.

I’m convinced Jesus wouldn’t watch some of the programs that I have watched. I don’t want to look back in regret and walk in condemnation. But I do want to walk forward with a new filter for what I watch for entertainment. I wonder if you would join me.

“If Jesus wouldn’t watch it, then I won’t watch it.”

The truth is, we don’t know what Jesus would watch, or even if He would watch TV at all. This is not the time to debate this or come up with a ‘possibly Jesus might watch this’ list. Remember, let’s not get into legalism.

But rather, let’s have our hearts turned towards God and invite the Holy Spirit to whisper into our hearts, yes, even as we enjoy our entertainment. Lead us Lord in the way we should go.
