AFTER

1 Corinthians 1:24
Signs and wonders is what the Jews were after; great wisdom and intellect is what the Greeks were after. These two things are what most people are after today. Nonetheless, the scripture tells us that Jesus is both the power and the wisdom of God: “But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God” (1 Corinthians 1:24).
It is not a revival of signs and wonders we need, nor is it a revival that will tickle the intellect. We need a revival that will elevate Jesus in all that He is, who He is, why He is, and where He is. The simple truth that we are lost and undone without His love and what He did for us on the cross of Calvary is the kind of revival we need. Consequently, we need to ask ourselves; what are we after? We must be after Jesus, and this “after” must get a hold of us so deeply everything else we are interested in takes second place to Jesus. The leadership of Israel and the people themselves had drifted so far under siege they resorted to buying and selling dove dung (2Kings 6:25). Why settle for dove dung when we can have the dove Himself?
