Since we have been serving Jesus, what is stopping us from inviting others to come and know him?
Have we not been changed?
Have we not become new people?
Do others not see the glory of the Lord shining through us?
Are we not palpable proof that our Jesus is faithful and works great miracles?
Yesterday we were angry, we spoke to others with disdain, with contempt, with pride, but our encounter with the Lord taught us that gentle answers calm anger and hurtful words stir up irritation.
So Jesus doesn’t look at our weaknesses or our shortcomings; he reaches out to us and wants to make us new and useful vessels in his hands.
The Lord has not only healed us of our infirmities, he has also saved us; he has lifted the reproach of the curse from us.
We are now God’s children,
We are sons of the kingdom,
We have been given the authority to uproot and then to plant.
Salvation is real, let’s not neglect it, let’s put our lives in order, let’s stop living as if tomorrow belongs to us.
Let Yaweh help us to plan our lives.
We can’t do it ourselves.
Let’s look around us, unemployment is up,
Delinquency is alive,
Youth is sterile.
We are a lost people with no bearings.
We have let the system make us believe that everything is normal and yet…
We just want one thing this morning, to tell ourselves that heaven is a reality and so is hell.
Let’s take a minute and ask ourselves if Jesus really is coming now, where will we go?
Heaven or hell?
It’s all very well to love life and to enjoy it, but what good is life if Jesus isn’t in it, if God’s presence doesn’t sustain us?
It’s time to take a break and really think about it.
Jesus still wants to save us, he’s calling us day and night, he’s at the door and he’s reaching out to us.
Let’s not miss this opportunity, my friends.
Let’s seize it and God’s love will give us what no one else can.
Acts, 4:20 – for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.
Talk about the salvation the Lord has offered you to others.
Obey the Lord rather than men.
If we accept the gospel, if we give the Lord a place in our lives, we will go from surprise to surprise.
The only dangerous thing we will do is try Jesus.
And we are convinced that the trial will be conclusive, because his love will calm us down and give us the life we were lacking.
And above all, his presence and his love will make us realise that there are better things than the vanities of this world.
So, brothers and sisters, let’s go to Jesus and be proud to be sons of the promise.
Good day to you all
Good day to you
