As pastors, teachers, and all those in spiritual leadership, we have been given the "word of reconciliation.
The Gospel message is what the Apostle Paul is talking about here. A message of how people can come to be reconciled to God through Jesus Christ.
It is the "good news" of how Jesus our Savior came to earth to give His life, so we could have life abundantly and eternally. It is a message of how our lives can be restored after the devastation left by sin.
The question is: Are we sharing this message, beginning with the little children to the adults? Are we taking advantage of this opportunity, in our Sunday morning Bible school times, our worship times, and in our mid-week Bible studies.
Is the message being communicated, as the Apostle Paul shared from Isaiah 49:8 "In an acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you. Behold now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." (2 Corinthians 6:1-2)
There are many topics we can focus on, but there is none more important, than this one. Communicating the message of salvation, defines us as the church of Jesus Christ.
In this we find our purpose, and in this we find our fulfillment.
The world needs it so much! We need to provide what the world needs, in and through Jesus Christ. GP
