The word for today is - Reaching !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Reaching !

 

Have you ever thought, about reaching out to the lost? You see this is our mission by God, if your a disciple of Christ. So, we must have the keys to unlock the door first, and you must have the right keys. So, there must be a key to reaching the lost in the word of God. And the key is to always speak to the lost in love and truth, that Jesus is the only way to our Father in Heaven. Read John 10:7-9,Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. Wow, now thats awesome to me, the word is saying the door will never be lock again to you, if you are a Child of the King. Now,lets look at the law of God, the Law is the God-given "key" to unlock the Door of salvation. Lets read Romans 3:19-20,Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. If we study how Jesus was teaching His disciple's, we will notice how different His approach was from that of our modern evangelism. Read Mark 10:15-21,Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.,And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. As you well know, the story of the prodigal son is one of the most familiar stories in the Bible.The older brother became angry, because His father had compassion for the lost son, who had return back home. Why? Because,the older brother, thought he had to work for his father’s approval and blessings, he was no less a slave than his younger brother. The young son realized his folly,he was Spiritually died, he said Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.The Father seen and heard a change in His son, it was Spiritual,because both sons were materialists, both sons loved money. Now, read Acts 8:20-25,But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me. And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.You see the door was always open for the son to return back home. Its the same thing for us the door is open to the believers, but if you knock the door will be open to all that believe in the son Jesus Christ.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
