How Strong Are You?

    How strong are you? I am not speaking of your physical strength, but of your moral character. Jesus has twelve followers One of those individuals was a thief He was the one Why kept track of the funds that were given to this small band of religious zealots. He would pilfer money out of the purse thinking no one knew. He was also the one who betrayed Jesus for a small sum of money. He did not have strength of character.

    Another one of those men had tremendous strength of character but failed to know the limit of his ability to withstand the threat of physical torture. He said on one occasion that he would be there for Jesus even if everyone else deserted Him. However, when the chips are down and it came time to stand with his teacher and Lord, he gave in and denied him three times

    I go back to question asked at the beginning "How strong are you?'- It is essential we learn the truth about ourselves. When did you last do a personal inventory of your character and loyalty.
