THE BAD GUYS (Must Read)

While hanging on the cross, Jesus had what we could call BAD COMPANY.

He had two 'criminals' on each side of him and they were the physical guys he was hanging out with there.

Yet, Jesus didn't start relating in a "Guys, do you see where this people have put us? They are wicked o" way.

He was focused on purpose...even in such a situation that would have made Him distracted.

No matter who a situation or condition thrust you in with, never lose your focus on purpose and start relating with them in a way that might affect purpose.

Remember, the first criminal that spoke actually was saying annoying and provocative things to Christ, yet Christ didn't reply. Instead, the other guy defended Him.

No matter who you hear talking about you in front of you or behind you, do not confront or talk back at them. Stay focused on purpose. Some one will defend you eventually

And when Christ opened His mouth to speak to them, it was to reply the guy that spoke well and to tell him he would be in paradise with Him.

Most times we feel like we should confront people around us who speak ill about us and in the process of doing so, we may cause hurt or deviate from purpose.

Instead of this, we should focus on purpose and move on. Even when Jesus' closest pals did Him wrong, He didn't confront them to burn them out or challenge them.

Judas, someone He entrusted with money, betrayed Him. Peter, someone that said He was the Messiah, denied Him. Yet, it was all according to purpose. Christ didn't confront or hate them for it. In fact, these things were to occur so that divine purpose would be established.

No matter who have betrayed or denied you in the past OR who is provoking you in the present, stay focused on purpose - do not deviate.

Jesus is in better company now. He is with God who would never betray Him and surrounded by saints who would not say wicked things in front or behind Him. He overcame

Stay focused on Purpose. Stay Godly.
