Last night I was reading through Matthew 26, which
coincidentally came up as one of my reading plan chapters, and I was once again
struck by the truth of what I would be outside of Christ. I read about Judas preparing to betray Jesus
and thought about my own pieces of silver. How many times have I chosen little
bits of shiny metal with no true value in place of the true treasure of knowing
and obeying God. How many things have I
used to replace God’s goodness, things that promise pleasure and fulfillment
and comfort and security, but will never satisfy. How many times, like Peter, have I turned my
back and denied Christ when things got tough, and then run weeping when I
realized my betrayal. Yet despite those
things, Jesus still went to the cross and had His blood spilled, no, spilled
His OWN blood, on my account, to pay my sin debt, and the debts of so many
other. What amazing love that is! What an incredible God we serve!
Starting today, people around the world will be reading Matthew
26-28 aloud and sharing this amazing truth with anyone willing to listen. Do you know this truth? Have you come to know the God who created
everything that exists, and yet was willing to humble Himself and suffer for the
sins of His creation? If you do, who do
you know that doesn’t know Him? Let’s
pray fervently today for the souls that God has not yet saved, and for the
courage and the wisdom, and the filling of the Spirit, so that we may be able
to speak to them. And lets lift our
hearts to Him in thanksgiving for the life He has given. There is no greater privilege that we can
have on this earth than that of worshiping and praising our God, and no greater
act of worship than bringing sinners to the foot of His cross.
So join us. Let the
truth of Christ’s sacrificial love spur you to action. Take you Bible, find a public place, and lift
you voice in the name of the one who saved us.
So many people are walking in blindness, and don’t even know what they
are looking for. But the gospel is the
power of God unto salvation, and through the word their blind eyes can be opened! The time is short so don’t delay. Preach God’s word, and pray that the lost
will be found, and blind eyes will see today.
All for His glory!
