Be Jesus for the World
On Sunday we discussed the nature of Jesus, and how He grew in favor with God. When
we examine how, we learn the same. There is no one we should seek to please more than
our Heavenly Father. The reading is found in Luke 2:52.
“And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man.”
The question remains. How can we please God and man at the same time? These two seem
to contradict themselves. If I seek to please God, pretty soon man will not be happy about
it. If I seek to please man, one could assume that God would stop being pleased.
Paul agrees with this concept in speaking with the Galatians. “As we have said before, so
now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received,
let him be accursed. For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying
to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of
Christ” (Galatians 1:9–10).
There is a direct link to our key passage and another young man in history: Samuel.
“Now the boy Samuel continued to grow both in stature and in favor with the Lord and
also with man” (1 Samuel 2:26).
The word “now” reveals the context (verses 22-25) that Samuel’s conduct is found to be in
contrast to the sons of Eli. Eli was receiving reports from all the people that his sons were
assaulting the women who were coming to serve in the temple. Verse 24 reveals that God
was going to put the men to death over this evil. So, when someone commits evil
atrocities, they will not find favor with God or man. When someone is righteous, it will
bring a refreshing and glad change to the evil experienced by God and man.
This is what Jesus brought as He increased in wisdom and stature and favor with God and
man. His life exuded light in a dark world!
“And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the
darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20
For everyone who does
wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be
exposed. 21
But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen
that his works have been carried out in God” (John 3:19-21)
Jesus is the light that brings favor for God and man. Be Jesus for the world.
