The Works of God

The people asked Jesus, what must we do to be doing the works of God?

What do you suppose Jesus said? Would it be attend church, give to the poor, tell someone about Jesus, or could it be…? The list is endless.

When parents bring their first child home, the list of things to do is endless. The carefree days before the arrival of the infant are gone. There will be many hours of joy, toil and maybe worry. Diapers will be changed, bike riding lessons will be given, help will be given with class lessons, coaching positions will be filled, graduations will be witnessed. The list of tasks for a parent seems endless.

How big must be the works of God? How much work will be enough in the eyes of God? These questions overwhelm, like a flood coming down the canyon.

What is Jesus’ response to this question? The work of God is that you believe in him whom he has sent. Whom did God send? Jesus is the one God sent. You do not have a long list of tasks to accomplish for God. All you have to do is believe in Jesus.

That is amazing.
