Dear Friend, As believers in the Lord, we each have the responsibility to share the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ to all who are lost. The Lord Jesus not only brings salvation, but light and life and living water so that all who come to Him may never thirst again. The Lord Jesus is the Prince of Peace who holds the world in the palms of His hands. When we talk about the Lord, He is not merely a man that died on a cross, but He is the only begotten Son of God who was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and died on the Cross so that He may redeem mankind from their sins. Salvation is a gift that no one deserves, but is graciously offered to all who will receive. (John 4:10-14) (John 3:2-7) (Isaiah 9:6-7) (Psalm 145:15-21) (Ephesians 2:8-9) I hope you are encouraged by today's message to take a strong stance concerning your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and be determined to share the gospel with all those that God lays on your heart. We are to share the simple gospel of the Lord and allow the Holy Spirit to bring conviction and repentance. THE KILLING TIME In the latter half of the sixteenth century, during what was known as â?othe killing time in Scotland, John Welsh (or Welsche), a Covenanter preacher and son-in-law of Scottish reformer John Knox, was pursued mercilessly by those who wished to take his life. For a long time he managed to elude his pursuers, but finally there seemed to be no safe place to go. He prayed, and believed God gave him a plan to outwit his enemies. That night Welsh knocked at the door of a man who was well known for his bitter opposition to the so-called field preachers, a man who was seeking to arrest Welsh but who had never met him. Unrecognized by the householder, Welsh was received with kindness. During the evening the conversation turned to the hated Welsh. His host complained bitterly that he had not been able to apprehend this man whom he considered a rebel and an agent of Satan. I have been commissioned, said Welsh, to apprehend these people. I know where Welsh is going to preach tomorrow. If you like, I will put him in your hands. Nothing could please me better, said his host. The next day Welsh and his host walked to the place where the Covenanters had agreed to meet. Welsh invited his host to sit in the only chair available - one Welsh had especially provided for him. Then he began to preach about God's love for sinners. He spoke with such persuasive power and pathos that his enemy's heart was melted. At the close of the meeting Welsh said, Sir, I am Welsh. Take and arrest me, and do whatever you wish. His former enemy, now his friend and convert, declined! By Donald E. Mansell When we witness to others the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we are not to worry about the results, but rather leave the results of convicting the heart up to the Lord. We are to show our life as a testimony of where we were before Jesus came into our life and where He has brought us to now. He fills the empty heart with peace unspeakable and places a light in our countenance that is meant to shine forth so that all may know Who dwells within us. (Matthew 5:8-16) (Romans 12:1-7) (1 Corinthians 1:23-31) Be encouraged to share your faith and do not allow discouragement to keep you from helping to save lost souls. The only thing that we will have to show the Lord when we stand before Him on our Judgment Day, is what we did to help show others the way to the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the main focus and all other disputes need to be put away. (Revelation 20:11-15) Read and meditate on these scriptures: John 3:16-17 Jesus declares For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. Romans 5:8-11 But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. Romans 10:8-10 The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible.
