Today we will be looking at seeing where God is in our cell phones. Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Colossians 3:1. I have mentioned this before if we were to log into your cell phone, would we know that you are a Christian by looking at your apps and what is on your phone? Let that sink in for a moment.
If I can be honest, I can tell you that most of the apps I have are essential apps or for personal or school apps but if you were to look at my phone closely you would see I have the Bible app on my phone, an app for lights at church, a hymn radio app, so that would leave a clue to anyone looking at my phone that I am a Christian. but is that enough to say I am and that Jesus is my Priority? If you looked at my notes you would see several notes on Christian things and have a clue that I am Christian. But would that be enough to say if you were to look at my phone that I am a Christian? You could look at what I use the most and determine it by that (probably not, it would not show Jesus things very much but that is because what I do is not reflecting Jesu, to be honest,). But is that enough, if you looked at it, would you know that I am Christian? Same thing if you looked at my music. What if we were to look at your cell phone, would we know that you are a Christian? if we use the same thing, we did with my cell phone would we be able to tell you are a Christian.
I used to have a lot of Christian apps on my phone but hardly ever used them. Why was that, was it to look good, that I have a bunch of those kinds of apps on my phone. My intention was good when I downloaded them and intended to use them but rarely did. So, what does that say about what I was doing with my phone? Where was Jesus on my phone, in apps that I never used? Was Jesus dripping/leaking out of my phone or was Jesus there in the background. In your cell phone is Jesus dripping/ leaking from your phone or is He in the background?
Before we started this series I had you do an app evaluation to get rid of the apps that lead you farther away from Jesus. If you did this you are on the right track to where Jesus will be in our cell phone. But is that enough? No, it is never enough to just delete apps and to say, I did well. we need to keep seeking Jesus on our phones; so that when people look at our cell phones they will know that Jesus is leaking from our phones.
So where is Jesus on your cell phone? But he said to them, “Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; see, here is the place where they laid Him. Mark 16:6. Jesus has Risen and deserves all the Glory and that should be in our cell phones because it is one of the things, we use most. The things we use most should be the things we use the most to glorify Jesus. Jesus will be the front and center on our cell phones not in the background, in apps that we rarely use, or just there. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you. Matthew 6:33
We have to seek God's Kingdom and that included our cell Phones. But how do we change the way we look at our cell phones. we will talk about that tomorrow. This series is as much for you as it is for me. I need this as much as you do so Go forth and seek Jesus in your Cell phones.
