Sometime when part of a great worship service, it can be easy to get so caught up in the moment, that you might forget the whole world is not saved. We can get so exited with what's going on inside the church, that we can forget there is a lost and dying world outside the walls. With all the shouting, hand clapping, singing, dancing and, praising going on inside, it can drown out the cry's for help taking place outside. We might overlook the fact that just outside the walls, there is a world lost in darkness, prisoners of sin, a valley full of dead souls, and God is asking " can these bones live"?
The good news is, all in darkness can come to the marvelous light. All who are dead in sin can find life in the Word of God. God said He would cause breath to enter and they shall live, and the prophet was commanded to speak the Word of God to the dead bones and they would receive life. Jesus told us to speak the word of God to all that are spiritually dead and watch them come to life. Like Lazarus when he was called from the dead, let us speak God's word and watch His spirit move that there will be life in those dead in sin. God's spirit will begin to flow through their hearts and through the power of regeneration, they become anew, different from the first. Because there is life in the Word and His spirit, that which was dead, can now have life.
God's will is that none shall parish. Let the people of God obey the Word of God and once again proclaim the truth of God, that a dead world might live. The bible says "faith comes by hearing, and hearing the word of God": Let us be obedient and proclaim the good news of Salvation, that the dead might live in Christ.
