Matthew 21:9 The crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David; BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; Hosanna in the highest!"
One of the hardest jobs of the believer is reaching out for Jesus. People are more and more sceptical of The Lord. They are too busy, there is something else they have to do. They are just not into it. Yet, to reach out for Jesus could mean rejection.
These are the days when time may not be on our side. Everything happens so fast. Problems run like water. We need a strong foundation to simply go on in life. Jesus is that rock.
When I ask some people to visit us or join us, they are reluctant. They are afraid. Why one may ask? The answer is sin. We are so burdened by our faults, it is too painful to even think about it. But I have good news. Jesus can give you peace and joy.
In closing, reach out for Jesus. Tell some one about the goodness of God in Christ Jesus who died for all of our sins and was raised up by the power of God to return again to save those who hold on to their faith. Praise God Almighty in the name and joy of Jesus.

This is unfortunately true that many are becoming more skeptical. I found that I started to do that and I came against it in Jesus Name. He needs to be first in our lives. In today's world everything happens so fast. We need to make time every day to spend alone with Jesus. If you can make time for work, errands, shopping, watching TV, you can set aside some time to spend with Jesus.
ReplyDeleteCheck out the post called blind faith on this blog. http://www.caughtinthrrush.com/blind-faith/ . I think that it goes along with this message.
Excellent post! I see it more and more everyday how the world is turning away from God. It is so very sad to see the lost people with no hope. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. I also have a post that goes along with this - http://www.inspiration4u.org/2009/10/lonely-and-tired-no-more/
ReplyDeleteI pray that people will come to know Jesus for who He is and not as just a religion. Thanks for your post!
In my own little way, I've been reaching out to others for Jesus. One of my favorite church services is the Family Life Apostolate FLA) where I can share with couples about to be wed, the joy of knowing Jesus and introducing to them the promise of Responsible Parenthood in their lives. It saddens me though to know that many of those young couples don't know how to recite the Apostle's Creed and the basic prayers of the Roman Catholic Church. Religion is really becoming the last concern of many. Thank you for this link I follow.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I agree with you all the way. I do believe that time is not long. I find myself not reaching out to Jesus like I should. This post really hit home.
ReplyDeleteThese comments have touched my heart. I pray that the Lord will continue to give you power to do what is in your heart as well. The on-line church is a new thing. No tricks or games. Just words. Love is what is most important. God Loves us, when the world has run out of love. God Bless You Always.

I find it so helpful, I am one of the leaders in our church but sometimes i even i sometimes find myself not reaching out to Him.. God is so good and so loving that he will awaken us everytime we are about to fall due to too much slumbering, God will awaken us everytime we are about to stumble because of our walking in the darkness. He will always be God, He will always be Love..Thanks for the post..
