Pastor Chris
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16).
The Gospel of Jesus Christ, which has been
committed to our trust, is a Gospel of love. Your passion as a child of
God is to see to it that you share this message of His great love with
those who don’t know Him. What a glorious Christmas it would be for you,
and for the one to whom you take the light of the Gospel, and lead to
Christ this season!
If the Gospel means anything to you, you must
boldly and consistently share it with others. The Apostle Paul’s undying
passion for the Lord translated into his passion for the Gospel and for
the souls of men. In spite of the great persecutions he suffered, he
declared, "I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both
to the wise, and to the unwise. So, as much as in me is, I am ready to
preach the gospel…" (Romans 1:14 -15).
Recognize that you’re also a
debtor to your world; you owe the people in your sphere of contact this
message of God’s great love for mankind. You could be the only one with
the opportunity to touch their lives with the Gospel. If you’re a
miner, take the Gospel to your world of miners. If you’re a pilot, take
the Gospel to your world of pilots. Whatever you do, and wherever you
are, preach the Gospel. Be instant in season and out of season.
God
has said, "…all souls are mine..." (Ezekiel 18:4), but it’s your
responsibility to bring them to Him. Tell them God loves them so much He
sent Jesus to die for them (John 3:16). All they have to do now is to
confess Jesus as their Lord (Romans 10:9), and they’ll be saved and
automatically delivered from all the powers of darkness and be
translated into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son (Colossians 1:12).
Make
this Christmas count for someone else by helping them receive the life
of Christ. Let there be joy in heaven today, as you bring someone out of
darkness into God’s marvellous light.
Confession
I
refuse to be quiet about the Gospel, for it’s the power of God unto
salvation. That power is released to turn men from darkness to light,
and from the power of Satan unto God as I proclaim the Gospel today, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.
