About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

ARE YOU SHARING THAT UNSPEAKABLE JOY
ARE YOU SHARING THAT UNSPEAKABLE JOY
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT IT FELT LIKE WHEN YOU WERE FIRST BORN AGAIN? HAVE YOU EVER EXPERIENCED THE FEELING OF LEADING SOMEONE TO JESUS? I BELIEVE 1ST PETER 1:8 COVERS BOTH FEELINGS AND I QUOTE IT HEAR. "Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:" I LIKE TO PUT IT THIS WAY. WE HAVE NOT SEEN JESUS AND YET WE LOVE HIM AND BELIEVE IN HIM AND REJOICE WITH UNSPEAKABLE JOY BECAUSE OF HIS LOVE FOR US. THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE TELLING PEOPLE.
I THINK, AND THIS IS JUST MY OPINION, THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE AND CHURCHES ARE TEACHING SALVATION IN A NEGATIVE WAY. THEY ARE TELLING THE LOST HOW BAD THEY ARE AND IF THEY DON'T CHANGE, GOD WILL SEND THEM TO HELL. DON'T THEY THINK THE LOST KNOWS HOW BAD THEY ARE. BEFORE I GOD SAVED, I KNEW I WAS IN SIN. EVEN AT THAT EARLY AGE, I KNEW I WAS DOING THINGS THAT JESUS WOULD NOT APPROVE OF. I AM SURE THE PEOPLE KNOW HOW BAD THEY HAVE BEEN WITHOUT US TELLING THEM ABOUT IT.
WHAT WE NEED TO BE TELLING THEM IS THAT JESUS LOVES THEM SO MUCH THAT HE DIED FOR THEM. DON'T YOU THINK THEY WOULD LOVE TO FEEL THIS JOY IN THEIR LIVES? WE SHOULD BE SHARING THIS JOY WITH EVERYONE WE COME IN CONTACT WITH. THE LOST ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING AND SEEING THE JOY WE HAVE COULD LEAD THEM TO JESUS. LOOK WHAT JESUS SAYS ABOUT ONE OF THESE LOST ONES. IN A PARABLE IN LUKE 15:7 JESUS TELLS ABOUT THE JOY IN HEAVEN. I WILL QUOTE IT HEAR. "I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance." LET'S ALL GET OUT THIS NEXT WEEK AND BRING SOMEONE TO JESUS.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
