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.

"OUR COMMITMENT TO SERVING JESUS" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
IF YOU HAVE NEVER READ THE STORY ABOUT PETER AND CORNELIUS, YOU SHOULD. THIS SHOWS HOW COMMITTED PETER WAS TO JESUS AND HOW JESUS USED HIM. WE ALL NEED TO BE THIS COMMITTED.
FIRST, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT PETER WAS A JEW AND DID NOT ASSOCIATE WITH ANY OTHER NATIONALITY. IN FACT, IT WAS UNLAWFUL FOR HIM TO DO SO. SEE WHAT PETER TOLD CORNELIUS AND HIS FAMILY WHEN HE STARTED MINISTERING TO THEM. (ACTS 10:28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.) JESUS SENT PETER TO CORNELIUS' HOUSE TO MINISTER TO HIS FAMILY AND TO SHOW PETER THAT THE GENTILES WERE NOW BEING TAUGHT ABOUT JESUS.
IT WAS PAUL THAT WAS FIRST SENT TO THE GENTILES EVEN THOUGH AT FIRST HE PERSECUTED THE BELIEVING JEWS. HE COMPLETELY CHANGED WHEN JESUS APPEARED TO HIM ON THE DAMASCUS ROAD. THIS NEXT VERSE WILL SHOW THE LOVE BETWEEN PAUL AND THOSE HE MINISTERED TO. THEY WERE CRYING WHEN THEY TOLD HIM NOT TO GO UP TO JERUSALEM. PAUL LOVED THEM SO MUCH HE SAID THEIR PLEAS WERE BREAKING HIS HEART (ACTS 21:13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.)
WE ALL SHOULD HAVE PETER'S AND PAUL'S COMMITMENT TO SERVING JESUS, NO MATTER WHAT THE COST. WILL YOU TRUST HIM TODAY?
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
