Scripture Reading: Matthew 28: 18-20.
Memory verse for the week: Lev. 6:13
‘And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order on it; and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings.’ (NKJV)
Some months ago at the teenage church where I serve, we watched a very inspiring movie of a young boy of about 10 years, who goes out with his dad every Saturday to go preach the Word of God.
But, on this particular day, it rained cat and dog. Nevertheless, he got set as usual and was ready to go. His dad, who happens to be a Pastor, saw no reason to go preach on such a day! “Dad, aren’t there souls perishing even on a rainy day”, he humbly asked. Reluctantly, his dad allowed him to go alone wearing a rain coat. He won an old woman who was about to commit suicide to Jesus on this day; giving her evangelical tracts. The old woman later came to the boy’s church where she shared her testimony. How deeply sorry was his dad!
And you?…when last did you communicate the love of Jesus to your friends in school and neighborhood. Aren’t you just enjoying Jesus alone? Why are you so selfish with the gospel of Jesus? Remember the great commission in our scripture reading. God will require from you the soul of that friend of yours if he ever goes to hell because you never preached to him on the judgment day. Romans 1:16, 10:14.
He that wins a soul is wise… Daniel 12:3.
ACTION WORD: YOU ARE SAVED TO SAVE OTHERS.
