This highlights three
things about sharing the Gospel message:
1. God is a seeking God.
2. God calls us by name.
3. Jesus identifies with us
as individuals.
We, the church, need to be
more like Jesus. If someone was lost in the woods or drowning wouldn’t we try
to save them? Do we approach sharing the gospel with the same determination and
passion?
Are we applying the lessons
that Jesus taught us: going out in the community, taking time and interest in
others? Many churches believe if they keep things nice, do things the way we’ve
always done it, and open the doors then people will come. Now this is not a
judgment on what was, but realization that time has change. We have new
opportunities to apply timeless Christ principles – if we are willing.
Amen?
