Ye call Me …

Ye call Me Master and obey me not,

Ye call Me Light and see Me not,

Ye call Me Way and walk not,

Ye call Me Life and desire Me not,

Ye call Me wise and follow Me not,

Ye call Me fair and love Me not,

Ye call Me rich and ask Me not,

Ye call Me eternal and seek Me not,

Ye call Me gracious and trust Me not,

Ye call Me noble and serve Me not,

Ye call Me mighty and honor Me not,

Ye call Me just and fear Me not,

If I condemn you, blame me not.

Inscription inside door in the Lübeck Cathedral, Germany – 1173 AD

” ‘Why do you call Me, “Lord, Lord,” and do not do what I say?  Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.  But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without and foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.’ ” – Luke 6:46-49

” ‘You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am.’  If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet you also ought to wash one another’s feet.  For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you.  Truly, Truly, I say to you a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.  If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.” – John 13:13  -17

” ‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.  You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.  I will be found by you,’ declares the Lord.” – Jeremiah 29:11-14
