Devotional THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14TH, 2010 Day 3
Thankful?
For Teachers who have new projectors or a cart in their rooms, or staff in their offices, please use the video devotional entitled, “How Thankful Are You?” found at the following website: http://www.tangle.com/view_video?viewkey=f3886cb3df9d774e31cb
Make sure to turn on sound. Please say your own prayer to close.
If you don’t have a projector and speakers, you can read the video’s script below. Please say your own prayer to close. If you need to muster some enthusiasm, watch the video before class – it’s a pretty energetic reading!
“It’s your birthday! You open your first gift. It’s a toaster. How nice. You’re thankful. You open your second gift. It’s a travel itinerary documenting an all-expense paid cruise to the Bahamas. You’re thankful, very thankful. Actually, you’re blown away with gratitude. Two gifts causing two very different reactions.
Why? Because the recipient’s level of gratitude is directly proportional to the perceived value of the gift. And that’s precisely why the Apostle Paul spent such a significant portion of his life being beaten, rejected, and in prison as he told people about Jesus. Paul was thankful, very thankful. No, actually he was blown away with gratitude because Paul knew just how much he had been forgiven.
1 Timothy 1:15b ~ Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners and I [Paul wrote] am the worst sinner of them all.
Because a recipient’s level of gratitude is directly proportional to the perceived value of a gift, Paul who saw himself as a vial reprobate was stupendously appreciative towards Christ. Some people hear that Jesus died for them and because they see themselves as basically a good person, they react as if they were just given a toaster. How nice. Some
people hear that Christ died to give them life and because they view themselves as a moderate to heavy sinner, they react like they’ve received a cruise to the Bahamas. They’re a little more thankful. But some people, like Paul, recognize how intensely they’ve sinned against God and because they so completely understand the darkness of their wicked hearts, they spend the rest of their lives serving the King of Glory in meekness and overwhelming gratitude. Paul was that kind of guy.
How about you? Yeah, how we react to Christ’s gift of life will show how much value we perceive in the cross. The person who knows they’ve been forgiven much, in return loves very much. The person who’s merely a religious church-goer, well, they just make toast.
