3This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6who gave himself as a ransom for all men—the testimony given in its proper time. (1 Timothy 2:3-6)
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
8Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8)
Main Idea: Christ's passion is for the lost.
We see in the Book of Acts how the Lord empowered the disciples with the Holy Spirit to be His witnesses. Peter, Paul, and many other apostles experienced awesome displays of God's goodness and power, such as the healing of the blind and the raising the dead(Located in Book of Acts) which resulted in thousands saved and people being added to the Body of Christ daily. If this is what the Lord did back then, we know that he can still do it today. With so many lost and looking for purpose and truth in society today, us Christians can be the heroes in their lives and share the liberating Gospel of Christ Jesus. We know that the Lord answers prayers, and through crying out to Him according to His will, He will be faithful and will do exceeding more than what we can ask for. Amen!
Challenge: Get together with 2 or 3 Christian friends to pray for the lost.
