LIKE PETER’S BOAT YOUR HEART SHOULD BE A CHAPEL
Vss. 1-3 – Jesus was teaching by the Sea of Galilee. The crowds were very large and pressing upon him. Nearby Peter, Andrew, James, and John were doing what fishermen did after a long night of fishing. They were washing out their nets and then setting them into the sun to dry. Jesus requested use of the boat. So Peter thrust out a little from land and Jesus sat in the boat and taught the people. The hills surrounding the lake helped make the area a natural amphitheater. The minute Jesus entered that boat it was not the same. Jesus entered the boat and the boat became a chapel. It was the residence, at least temporarily of God the Son. The minute Jesus entered your life when you were saved you were no longer the same. 2 Corinthians 5:17 You became new in many ways when you trusted Jesus as Savior. A key way is that your heart became a chapel or a temple. It is a place where God dwells. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Because God dwells inside of me my body should be a place where He is worshipped. God should receive my reverence, my praise, my thanksgiving and my prayers. Psalm 89:1,7, Psalm 103:1-2, 1 Thessalonians 1:16-18.
