West Coast Korean Campmeeting - PUC

This week I am writing from the Napa Valley in California where the weather is sweet! I am here speaking to the English speaking adults for two nights at the annual West Coast Korean Campmeeting which is held on the campus of Pacific Union College.

This year, the theme is “He Will Be Lifted High.” As we contemplate the thought of lifting up Jesus, what comes to mind?  Do you immediately turn towards things that you can do?  “Maybe if I just give Bible studies door to door, then Jesus will be lifted up.” Or, “Maybe if I just studied my own Bible more, then Jesus would definitely be lifted up.”

This theme is a a great one, but one that often gets a bad rap because we innately turn towards what we can do to make it happen.  What would it look like if we just gave up on trying to make it happen and really bask in the theme that HE WILL BE LIFTED HIGH.  In other words, regardless of what you try to do, Jesus will ultimately be exalted.  Instead of trying in our own might, as it is so easy to do, let’s try the more difficult thing by surrendering our all to Jesus for it is in the surrender that the Spirit of Jesus will be resurrected in us; and in so doing to those we come in contact with.
