THE ORDER OF THE PIERCED EAR

THE ORDER OF THE PIERCED EAR
Someone made the remark a while back that every Christian should have a BA degree. BA means "Born Again".

That is correct. Fact is, you can't really be a Christian without it.

There is a world of difference between a mental assent to Jesus Christ-- a hand shake-- a signed card, and a genuine heart-changing encounter (experience) with Jesus, where He comes into our heart and makes us into new creatures. It can, and must be, an EXPERIENCE that makes us KNOW we have been changed.

Then, we should all join the "Order of the Pierced Ear."

In the Old Testament law of Moses, when the slaves were all set free in the Year of Jubilee, provision was made for any servant who had come to love his master, and didn't want to go free could do so.

This was accomplished by having his master back him up to a wall or post and bore through his ear with an awl. That was a contract between them, and a sign to all who would later see the hole in his ear, that he had dedicated his services for the rest of his life to his master.

Each Christian needs that kind of dedication to Jesus!

Difficult times will, and do, come to each of us-- times which will test the sincerity of our commitment to Jesus. We need to have the Spiritual "hole in our ear" to remind us of our pledge to Jesus.

Let's all join the "Order Of The Pierced Ear."

Let's all get our BA degree.
