Name Tags: You are… Seen & Known

All their works they do to be seen by men.

Matthew 23:5 (NKJV)

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk over them are not aware of them.

Luke 11:44 (NKJV)

I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My Own.

John 10:14 (NKJV)

Whoever loves God is known by God

1 Corinthians 8:3 (NIV)

Is today's overwhelming quest for fame a plea from the lost to be “seen” and “known”?

  • To seek approval through claps, friends, and likes?

  • To prop up wavering self-confidence?

  • To collect “evidence” of approval?

  • To stake a claim on immortality?

Actors, models, and talent for Christ:

People want to know that their lives matter, and YOU KNOW how much they matter to God.

'For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life' (John 3:16).

'For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost' (Luke 19:10).

You're members of Your Captain’s rescue team: heroes who walk straight into darkness:

'Behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples,' (Isaiah 60:2).

Fans hold small lights in the palms of their hands to track celebrities in media. They “like” them, hoping to see and BE SEEN. They’re desperate TO KNOW their lives matter.

Therein, DO SEE and KNOW the role you play. Stay polished and shine brightly for Jesus.

Shy lambs and lost sheep will be drawn to you, which is the Lord’s marvelous action plan.

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s from God. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players.’ Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
