Help Me Lift Him Up!
Dr. Darrow Perkins
John 3:14-15
Some people, for the most part, will promote something that they can get behind. They usually will look into it first, and if it's something they like, they get behind it or promote it. Things that we wear are ways of promoting or lifting up what we feel strong towards. For example,
When you wear a ''Coach'' product, you're promoting it;
When you wear a ''Nike'' product, you're promoting it;
When you wear a ''Tommy Hilfiger'' product, you're promoting it;
When you wear any name brand product, you're promoting it.

When people see us, they should see who we're wearing; we should be exhibiting some things that would reflect what we are promoting. When it comes to Jesus, we don't always have to wear T-shirts, hats, or other articles of clothing to show who we're promoting, but our lifestyle is the best advertisement we have. Paul reminds us in Philippians 1:27 to ''Only let your conservation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ...'' The word ''conversation'' here means lifestyle and/or conduct and tells us that we should conduct ourselves in a manner that lifts up or promotes Christ. In that respect, there should be some love in our lives; there should be some joy in our lives; there should be some longsuffering in our lives; there should be some faith in our lives; there should be some patience in our lives; all the Fruit of the Spirit should be on display in our lives and people should be able to recognize Jesus in us.

''He was the youngest of the apostles when called, and lived to the greatest age, and is the only one who is supposed to have died a peaceful death.'' He further writes, ''John was admitted by our Saviour to peculiar favor and friendship.'' John was known as the ''b ...
