Life of the Church: Unoffendable

On Sunday, we got to hear from Austin and Breanna Smith on what it means to be unoffendable. 

The reality is there’s no shortage of ways to be offended in life. We live in a world with human beings, so the potential to be offended will always exist. But Jesus has more for us, He is the solution and the one we must turn to if we want to see this cycle of offense end.

How we choose to think when our emotions are agitated by someone else is the key. We can either dwell on it, simmer, and let offense grow, OR stop, look to Jesus, and let Him soften our heart toward that person.

Our feelings of offense must be held up against the cross so that we see how Jesus would respond, and then we ask and believe for the power to respond how He would respond. 

Jesus was able to endure the ultimate offense because he was fully secure in the Father’s love for Him. Devote yourself to understanding how much God loves you, and your identity as His child, and you will build a firm, unoffendable foundation for your life.
