| Jesus Give An Example |
To make an excuse basically means to offer or think of a reason for some form of failure, For example, failure to complete your homework, failure to turn up on time, failure to attend special occasion or appointments
1. Excuse of Property: (Luke 14: 18)
“The first said, I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it, Please excuse me” A.We live in a materialistic age, The love of possessions has captured the hearts of millions B.We must keep our possessions in the right perspective C.We should not use possessions as an excuse for being less than our best for GOD ( Matthew 6:33)
2. Excuse of Pursuit: (Luke 14: 19)
Pursuit means – “an activity that one engages in as a vocation, profession, work or occupation”]
“ And another said, I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out, Please excuse me” A.These are busy times, We have more time 4 gadgets B.Christians should not be overtaken with the hurry, scurry of these busy days *don’t make your life complicated* C.We must make time for God and give Him first place in our lives
3. Excuse of Person: (Luke 14: 20)
“ And another said, I just got married, and therefore I cannot come” A.Blaming other people is perhaps the most often used excuse, we tend to blame others for our failures, disappointments, troubles and so forth B.Other people may also be blamed for one’s lack of service to God, or not accepting Christ as Savior C.Christians must keep their eyes centered on Jesus Christ, who is the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12: 2)
Conclusion:
Hebrews 10: 25 “ Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another - and all the more as you see the DAY approaching”
