Housekeeping

If you knew that Jesus were coming to stay at your house today, what would you do?  Would you say that he'll just have to accept the accommodations just as they are or would you not make sure that the house was clean and fresh linens on the guest bed?  Would you set out leftovers or run to the market for something special?

I suspect that each one of us would go out of our way to make him feel comfortable and welcome. We would not have a take or leave it attitude, we would have a how can I show you honor mindset.

As Christians, Jesus is staying at our house today.  In fact, he stays there every day - "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you?" (1 Cor 6:19).  Because that is so, just as if it were our brick & mortar home, we ought to make sure he would feel comfortable and welcome.  As Paul writes, in view of this truth, "Therefore honor God with your bodies" (1 Cor 6:20).

So, how's the housekeeping been going in your heart, mind and soul?  Have you been working to make it welcoming to the Holy Spirit of Christ?  Do you seek to honor him in what you think, say and do?  Or, do you think he would be offended by the kind of things you allow in and have lying around your house?

Not judging. Jus' Askn.
