Mark 10:15 “
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.”
A drama group called New Life came into our church today and did marvelous skits. Each one more powerful than the last…And, all centering around Jesus and His message to go and preach the gospel to all nations. It was amazing and so intense. With each skit came a deeper understanding and a solidification of what we are to do as Christians. We are to follow Jesus’s words, and go out and teach to those who have the ears to hear and the eyes to see…But, most especially to the desperate ones who are in bondage and not living for Christ, and who have not been “saved.”
It is to those very souls that are wandering without purpose that stand to lose so much, but will gain the most through Christ. The skits depicted people in “selfish modes” who did not want to “lay it down for Christ” – and who live life in the fast lane without a care as to whom they hurt; and not even aware they are hurting themselves in the interim; which will have a compelling and sad ending if they do not heed the word and take note soon.
The skits, although humorous at times, delivered strong and almost explosive messages to the audience, that we have a responsibility as Christians to “get out and follow Jesus and His order” – to preach to all nations; to reach out to the needy in Spirit and to feed them the word and to feed them the Truth. Jesus is truth…he is the light for the ones ensconced in the dark, who are in a cage of uncertainty, who do not have the expansive capacity of which to see in terms of the word. It is to these souls that the word should be preached and to these people that need to be taught, and Love is the way, for Christ is love.
The young man Caleb said today, “God is Grace, Compassion, Wisdom, and Love” and that is just a few ways in which to describe this supreme sovereign King…And, listening for His call, He wants us His children to “listen and wait for His direction for our lives” – we need to warn and help to spread the word. What are we going to do about it?
In the very last skit, the four performers each had a scenario they were in, and all were negative and stating how much they hated life; and how they don’t need anyone. And the last girl said, “I am in hell, I am here in hell and all I needed was Jesus-why didn’t you tell me? Why? You could have saved me.”
There wasn’t a sound in the entire church filled audience- so powerful the message, so intense. And, yet so true. How will you reach someone today? It is something we should all think about, Amen.
Matthew 28:19, 20 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
