Re:Verse passage – 2 Peter 2:4-9 (day seven)
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment. vs 4
One of the illustrations I have been using with our youth recently is “Play Doh Jesus.” Why do kids (and lets be honest, adults) like play doh so much? It is because we have control to make the object look the way we want it. There are many people in modern society that like Jesus because what they are following is not the Jesus of the Bible. It is a Jesus that they have molded to be someone they are comfortable with.
“My Jesus cares about the things I care about.”
“My Jesus would be in my political party.”
“My Jesus doesn’t judge me for my actions.”
They like this Jesus so much more because it feels like they are in control instead of Jesus being in control. They have created an idol out of play doh instead of allowing the Creator to mold them into what He wants them to be.
Jesus wants you to care about what He cares about.
Jesus wants you to be Kingdom minded.
Jesus is The Judge.
