We have been called to go out into a dying world and proclaim the good news of salvation. In fact Jesus instructed us to"To go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature."It is by the truth of our testimony, and our witness of God's revelation to mankind, that a dying world will know there is a Savior, who is Jesus the Christ. But it seems the church is sleeping in dangerous times.
In our text Jesus asked His inner circle to watch and pray while He went to the Father in prayer. But He came back and found them asleep. He is asking us, His church, His new inner circle to watch and pray while He is away with the Father, preparing a place for us, will He return to find us asleep? He left us instructions to go into all the earth and preach the gospel to every creature, to watch over and pray for the lost souls which He died to save, that all might know the salvation of the Lord. Church let us not sleep in these dangerous times.Let us wake up to the needs of this dying world. Wake up to the truth of God's word. Wake up to the fact that it is not about us, or where we worship, the denomination to which we belong, the pastor or bishop we sit up under, or even if we are saved or not. We need to wake up to the fact that it is about Jesus Christ and Him crucified, and the need for a lost world to hear this good news.
There is a dying world out there counting on us to share with them that which God so gracefully shared with us. Bob Marley once said "a hungry man is a angry man", and there is a angry world out there starving for the good news of salvation. Let us wake up and do our part that none be lost. Let us proclaim to all that we see in word and deed the good news that Jesus Christ is the way..
