JESUS TRUSTS US
Are we aware of Jesus showing us
trust? He assigns us various tasks for Him. He expects us to do it.
He does not say it out of compulsion or law, but in mutual love to
show us his trust-
Today's chapter is. Romans 10
Read
the section the verse refers to.
A legend tells of how the
angel Gabriel once, during a conversation with Christ after Christ's
Ascension, asked him: "Lord, what precautions have you taken so
that your work can be carried forward to victory and people can be
saved?" "I have left that work to my disciples." "But
imagine if they fail you, what will happen then?" Jesus replied
quietly:
I TRUST THEM
God could have used
angels to preach the good news about Jesus to the world. He could
have let the dead rise and be witnesses to the truth. He himself
could have spoken with a voice of thunder
But in his love God
entrusted that task to his disciples – you and me – in the midst
of a sinful world, filled with difficulties and great
challenges.
What a trust and what a responsibility We have
been given the task of telling the Good News and sharing it with our
friends, networks – yes, the whole world.
He knows that
we are weak and anxious. We sometimes feel powerless in the face of
that task – and it is not always easy to insist that you believe in
Jesus. I have noticed that mentioning the word God makes many people
relax, but when the name Jesus is mentioned, it either creates
interest or, in many cases, distance.
Sometimes we hear or
read about people who have experienced a revelation of Jesus, either
in a vision or in a dream. That is nice and good.
The truth is
that most people become Christians and experience Jesus because a
good friend has invited them to a meeting, or has shared their faith
with them and has told them about Jesus, and his intervention in some
situation.
In many cases it is a fruit of prior prayer.
So
start with PRAYER. EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL
BE SAVED. BUT HOW COULD THEY SEEK HELP FROM HIM, THEY DON'T BELIEVE
IN HOW COULD SOMEONE COME TO BELIEVE IN HIM IF THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD
OF HIM? HOW CAN THEY HEAR ABOUT HIM IF NO ONE SHARES THE MESSAGE
ABOUT HIM? HOW COULD SOMEONE GO OUT AND PREACH THE MESSAGE OF CHRIST
IF NO ONE IS SENT OUT? THIS IS WHAT THE SCRIPTURES ARE TALKING ABOUT
WHEN IT IS CALLED WONDERFUL TO HEAR THE FOOTSTEPS OF THOSE WHO BRING
GOOD NEWS Romans 10:13-15
Decibel means student, we are
under Jesus our Lord, not above. Separated father Jesus we can do
nothing.
amen
