Romans 1:1 “Paul, a bondservant of
Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God."
New King James Version (NKJV)
1 Corinthians
6:20
"For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in
your spirit, which are God's." NKJV
Matthew
22:37-39 "Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God with
all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first
and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor
as yourself.'" NKJV
My Comments:
No matter how many times we hear it we need to take notice. Christ Jesus has
called all to Himself and wants for all to live forever. Not everyone will
accept the gift. He bought each of us, if we want to accept His Sacrifice, when
He willingly went to the Cross and kept Himself on the Cross until He died so
His Blood would cover our sin. We who accept His gift are then able to stand
before Abba Father clothed in the Righteousness of Jesus Christ and it is no
longer my sin Abba sees. He sees the Righteousness of Jesus. The Lamb of God
who takes away the sin of the world but not all in the world will accept His
Sacrifice, the Pearl of Great Price.
Paul did not
accept it at first. He tormented and stood by as Christians were tortured and
killed. Jesus had to blind him to get him to listen. He didn’t force Paul to
listen nor did He force Him to accept His gift yet He asked why Paul persecuted
Him. Some take a lot of talking to the be convinced yet often they become the
ones who make the biggest changes like Paul. Paul believed Jesus’ word and He
proclaimed Jesus and His Gospel at the peril of his own life. He loved God with
all his soul, heart, mind and body and his neighbor as himself. Because he
loved so much he did not hold back when presenting the Gospel because he did
not want that any should perish.
I feel the
same. There are many in the world today who are suffering and dieing for the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. Because they love Abba Father and they love their
neighbors. They share the Gospel often ending up in prison and being tortured
for the Gospel. Many are in prisons now yet they count it worth the price
because they hope maybe one soul will come to know Jesus and be saved. My heart
grieves for them, I pray for them and I know the Lord rejoices in them. Their
reward will be with the Lord one day and one day I will meet and know them. I
am excited for that day.
Abba Father,
protect those in this world who share the Gospel of Your Son Jesus, who risk
all they have to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus. Protect their families and give
them courage, strength and faith to move mountains. Thank You for blessing and
equipping them for the Ministries You have set them to.
Jesus, who
created the world and came as a babe in a stable, fill Your children with Your
Love for the lost and dieing. Send Your Holy Spirit to teach them so they may
teach others and guide them so they may guide others as Paul and the Apostles
did.
Holy Spirit
fill all those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and have His free
gift of Life Eternal with knowledge, wisdom, understanding and give them the
gifts each will need to bring praise and glory to Abba Father and do the will
of Him who sends them.
In Jesus name
in union with the Holy Spirit. Amen
