"Then Moses
stood in the gate of the camp,
and said,
Who
is on the LORD'S
side?
let him come
unto me.
And all the
sons of Levi gathered themselves
together unto
him."
Exodus 32:26
The
Dividing Line
Exodus 32 tells us that
Moses drew a line.
Here's why:
God's people had
participated in a drunken party
and had worshiped a
golden calf.
Drunken idolaters!
Moses knew that God
demands that people
love, obey and worship
only Him.
So in a very courageous
move,
Moses stepped in front
of all those people
and drew a line by
saying,
"Who is on the Lord's
side? Let him come to me."
That day, many crossed
the line
by taking a stand with
Moses and the Lord.
Lines can be very
important.
They help us know where
we stand.
We are either on one
side of the line or the other.
Jesus, too, drew a line
when He called
those from the multitude
to follow Him.
Jesus' words make a very
clear line:
either you are for
Christ
or you are against Him.
That same line exists
today.
We must decide on which
side of that line
we will stand.
Many choose to stand on
both sides of the line.
And for those
individuals Jesus replies,
"I know thy works,
that thou art neither cold nor hot;
I would thou wert cold
or hot.
So, then because thou
art lukewarm,
and neither cold nor
hot,
I will spue thee out of
my mouth."
There is no middle
ground with the Lord.
In fact, for those who
try,
it makes Him sick to His
stomach.
Take a stand on God's
side of the line!
"Lord
Dictated Them"
