Often you hear people say,
“The circumstance bugs me or people bug me, or various things happen that
causes me a lot of trouble.”
In a periodical, there is
an advertisement under the title, “Sure Kill”.
This advertisement promised people a sure kill for their bugs and told
them how much money to send and when the money was received, the Sure Kill
would be sent.
When the buyer received his
Sure Kill, it was in the form of two blocks with the following instructions:
“Place bug on one bock and smite with the other.” Now it is comical to think
how simple it is to kill bugs. The hard
thing is to catch the bug and place him on the block.
Sometimes the bug is within
us. Other times the bug is in the other
person. The block is Jesus Christ and
His cross. If you put Jesus Christ first in your life and you take all circumstances
to the cross and there you smite it with determination to follow Him, you will
learn that you overcome the world by your faith.
Paul said, “God forbid that
I should glory save in the cross of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” Rather than man being bugged at the cross, he
becomes blessed at the cross. He is able
to meet the sure kill and to move out from under the pressures and into the
glories as he walks with the Lord and Savior.
Christ died for our sins that we might become His servants and that we
might live to be of service to others.
