Jesus is 10x’s Better

You might think that you don’t have the smarts or knowledge that others may have but once you’re born again, you’ve been granted access to the “wise men training program”. This program is 10 times better than the world could ever teach you. One must understand what is 10 times better.

Let’s compare some worldly things. A four-wheeled vehicle is better than a 2 wheeled one when you’re trying to get out of a mud hole.
West coast beach is brown, rough unclear water where the sand is grey and brown too. If you’ve ever been to the Gulf of Mexico you’ll find out the sand is powder soft and white. The water is clear and blue. It’s 10 times better.
The first time you see your soon-to-be wife or husband oftentimes it’s a known you’ll be married. Your spouse is 10 times better than any other.
Your home church is 10 times better than any other church out there.

Jesus Christ, multiple books have been written about this man and the things He has done, and not a single book has exhausted what He’s done.
When you first meet Jesus He is 10 times better than anything else out there.

A Commitment
Daniel 1:8; they refused to defile themselves with the world’s meat and drink. Many saints of God have gone home and if they were a part of your life they were 10 times better than any doctor or medicine you’ll ever know. When something flips your world upside down the first thing you do is run to others, social media. A good saint of God is someone you could run to because they will point you back to God to find out what to do.

Will God say you were 10 times better or will He say you were lazy on Him. Romans 12:1-2; half-hearted will not ever equal 10 times better. It’s not a “lil-dab will do ya” relationship.

Grace
Daniel 1:9; God did something that no one else could do. He placed them in the favor of the prince. In order to be 10 times better than this world we will need a little grace. 10 times better is not just for the world but for other “Christians”. Many so-called Christians run around doing things they ought not to do. You might say you’re seeking after God’s grace but somehow you run out of it on Sunday and Wednesday nights. Chores: at a young age children often have chores to do at home. If the child asks for help and they seem invested in their chores the parent will usually help them out. However, if the child never does their chores they find themselves in a rough situation.

A Test – Faith
Daniel 1:10-12; in that time period God had given a commandment that certain meats could not be eaten due to them being unclean. Daniel told the king to test them. Going through a test is where faith blooms. Daniel was committed before he had to make a choice. Daniel knew that if he stood with God He would bring him out of the test 10 times better.

A judgment is coming to everyone but to the believer, a God will judge what was done and not done. Will God tell you, a believer, “Well done my good and faithful servant”? Are you, just saved? Not doing for God? Just sitting in a building every now and then? Never reading and studying His word.
