TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE ROMAN OFFICER: Your Reputation By Others (3)
MEMORY VERSE:
Philippians 2:3
3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.
BIBLE READING:
Luke 7:4-5
4 So they earnestly begged Jesus to help the man. “If anyone deserves your help, he does,” they said,
5 “for he loves the Jewish people and even built a synagogue for us.” (NLT)
Thinking Point:
Your Reputation from other’s view is what defines the real you not what you say about yourself.
Brethren, today shall be fill with result in Jesus mighty name, Amen. Learning further from the Roman Officer, after Meeting with the respected Jewish Elders, they all went to speak with Jesus about him. Mind you, many of the Jewish spoke against Jesus often in the temple and criticized His teachings but because of this Officer, they put aside their differences to meet with Jesus. They went straight to their point, gave a good reputation of this man, what he has done for the synagogue and many other things, they topped it up by saying, “if anyone deserves your help, He does”. What a reputation from the Jewish Elders to Jesus about a politician! This was very clear that, the Roman Officer gave listening ear to the Jewish Elders, he is a good man and respected by many if not all.
What you say about yourself is not as weighty compared to what others says about you, yes, you may have many haters but some will still defend you at all cost. Check around yourself, what are people saying about you? Jesus asked the disciples about His reputation, “Who do people say I am? … And who do you say I am? Mark 8:27-29. What people say about you may be their opinion, but from what many says about you too, you get to know your reputation. Even in your home, who do people say you are to your spouse, children, parent, friends and co-members in your department, what reputation do you keep? This can help you identify who you are and who you are meant to be. Your reputation is very important to who you will become.
