The Jesus Filter
If you work with computers, as most of us do today, you may be familiar with the concept of a filter.
A filter is used to screen information or sometimes it is used to adjust how one program relates to another.
You can set up filters in many programs to allow specific information to be sent or used by another com-
puter, program or person. In the same way, a filter can be set up to screen what information you receive.
Probably the most familiar filters to most people are "spam filters." These little programs screen out thou-
sands of unwanted "junk" emails we would receive everyday if we didn't have them.
Now all of this is background for a thought I had yesterday. We were sharing the Lord's Supper, and
I thought about relationships and the self-examination we are suppose to do during the Supper. I thought of
Paul's comment about how he no longer lived, but Christ was the one living in him (Galatians 2:20). He
was basically saying that everything in his life was now seen through the filter of Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:16
-17 says essentially the same thing!). Everything that happened to him, every relationship he had and every
hardship and blessing he experienced, was filtered through Jesus. Every wrong that was done to him,
every cruel word or action was filtered through the screen of Jesus.
What really struck me about these few wandering thoughts of mine was this: what a completely dif-
ferent life we can have if we filter everything through Jesus! When we remember his sacrifice, his pain,
his suffering, his love and apply those to the happenings and relationships in our own lives, then our world
will take on a different appearance. Our relationships will take on a different feel and closeness because
our feelings and words first pass through the filter of Jesus.
Paul is writing from experience when he encourages folks in Philippi with these words: "Have this
among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus ...."(Philippians 2:5 RSV). He had done that personally.
He understood what it meant to look at things through the mind and eyes of Christ. He was willing to give
up his own self-interest, his own rights, and his very own life. He was honest when he said, "I have been
crucified with Christ; it is no longer I that live, but Christ lives in me; and the life I now live
in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for
me" (Galatians 2:20).
How about applying the "filter of Jesus" to your life?
I have to admit that I am still struggling with doing that all the time, because there are
times when I don't want to give up my rights to judge, feel hurt, and retaliate. Paul's words
are a good reminder to me! How about you? by Russ Lawson on February 17, 2007, from HEARTLIGHT.org

AUGUST/FALL SEMESTER GIVE-AWAY
We would love to have another 250 international students come to the
church building this year in August, as we did 2 years ago, to receive
much needed household items and furniture for their residences in a
new country: please bring to the church building, starting now: bedding,
towels and linens (watch for bargains at local stores?), all kitchen items,
appliances, furniture, especially desks, beds, lamps, etc. Let's pray now
that many will make Campus their home to investigate New Testament
Christianity, as some already have.
Please pray for this and all our efforts to extend God's kingdom.
Thanks, Roger Sedlacek 377-1723
