I had a great day today, and had a wonderful opportunity to share the Gospel and help be Jesus hands today. I was heading over to the Church today, and found everyone was out. So I went to the local Starbucks to get a "cuppa" and my Yorkshire friend used to say. I got a cup of Joe and sat at a table just outside the "bucks" I saw a man standing near the table I asked his name and he said "Burt" and after some pleasantries I asked him how he was doing? He said that he was hungry and it was near his birthday? I could tell he was genuine in his request(not that that matters!) and so we went to Subway for some grub. We returned to the table and I was able to share the Law and Gospel with him, and It was a blessing. See Iv'e been struggling lately with getting out and sharing the most wonderful gift given to me, that cost me NOTHING and cost Him EVERYTHING and that's Salvation from the wrath to come, and Eternal life. Funny, how we can go out and tell even strangers that we got a new car, job, baby..etc yet, when it comes to the Gospel, we are shy and afraid.
Brothers and Sisters we should be telling everyone we see, the wonderful gift of Life that cost our Saviors Body and Blood. What is it we (I) fear? man's disapproval, his wrath, pain,rejection? So what, we're talking about the Savior of the World, the Holy Creator of the Universe, The Lamb of God, God himself! How weak and fallen we are, how shallow, that we can boast about our accomplishments, our possessions,our jobs, and yet are afraid to boast about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! How is it that God even lets us live for one second, it is by His Mercy and Grace, definitely not because of ANYTHING we've done! I may be admonishing you, but I am definitely admonishing myself and I' pray that you and I would get boldness and courage from our Lord to proclaim His Good News! I was reading the other day in Revelation, and do you realize that coward's will NOT inherit the Kingdom of Heaven, Behold " Then He said to me, It is done. I am he Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of life without cost. He who overcomes will inherit these things and I will be his God and he will be my son. But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone which is the second death." Revelation 21:6-8 nasb
Go beloved, go in strength, go in HIS strength, for His Glory and Honor GO!!!
