A WORD FROM PASTOR WILL: 'The State of Being Underestimated'

[Rev. William Griffith]

Jesus was underestimated constantly. Even His own family didn't recognize His true identity. Mark 3: 20 & 21 tells us they thought Jesus had lost His mind. Christ was underestimated by Judas, who thought Jesus was motivated by politics. He was underestimated by Herod who thought Him a magician & a lunatic. He was underestimated by Pilate and even by the Roman soldiers guarding the tomb. Look at our own situations. Our family, our friends may think we're too old, too young, too stupid or too whatever to do great work through Jesus Christ. They are underestimating you and once again underestimating the power of Almighty God. Paul tells us in Philippians 4 that we 'can do all things through Christ who strengthens' us. Those who mocked Jesus while He hung on the cross also underestimated Him. They believed nails were holding Him up there. It wasn't nails, but the love of God that held Him there...His arms outstretched, open to ALL the world and affirming our salvation. Follow Christ and the world will underestimate you. Through this God is glorified.
