Jesus Has Ordained Us Part-1

[Pastor Dr. Michael M Sherrod]

 

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you , and ordained you , that ye should go and bring forth fruit , and that your fruit should remain :  that whatsoever ye shell ask of the Father in my name , he may give it you ( John 15:16 , KJV ) .  Jesus did not write a book and lay out all His instructions on how to build the kingdom of God . They became living books on which He had imprinted His love and message . Jesus wanted the world to see , touch , and feel His message-not just read it . Later , His disciples , under the power of the Holy Spirit , told His message in print , but Jesus has always allowed peoples to be His living message . Jesus has always wanted us to know Him by heart . God designed His method of salvation . He alone initiated salvation and invites people to follow Him . The word choose is the Greek word exelexathe which means ‘’to select out of possible options that are free from any determining forces or circumstances . And the word literally means to choose something for oneself .
