How meaningful to this message!

For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Luke 19:10

How meaningful to this message! The eternal Son of God came to earth as a Man in order to save sinners!
Is that a subject of interest for mankind today? Why do we need saving? Haven't we got our life under control? We have never killed anyone, nor do we steal and lie, not normally at least.
However convinced we are of this opinion, do we really believe that we have never sinned? Do we therefore not need God's offer of salvation?
The Bible states: "There is none righteous, no, not oneThere is none who does good, no, not one" (Romans 3:10). That is how God sees mankind. So it is impossible that anyone can earn God's favour on account of his "blameless" life. If we consider this a little, we must agree.
But how can anyone get out of this dilemma? There is a way, but one only. That way is Jesus Christ. He came to earth to die for sinful people. At the cross of Calvary He bore the punishment for sins. Everyone must go to Him with his sins and confess them to Him. Then God will forgive. For all who turn from their willful ways and believe in Jesus the Lord, His atoning work on the cross will avail for them.
Everyone needs salvation, and everyone, without exception, is invited to accept it. Jesus Christ said: "The one who comes to me I will by no means cast out" (John 6:37).
Today's reading: Acts 10:24-48

If you are inpatient with Gods timing, you will not only get into trouble but may not be able to finish the race. A good number of backsliders derailed from their heavenly track because of impatience. In Matthew 11:6 Jesus...More

THE HOLY SPIRIT

It is one thing to receive the anointing and another to keep growing on it. There are people who had the anointing, but today, everything has virtually ebbed out. It is possible to connect with the Holy Spirit and to continue to flow in the power of the anointing even at increasing levels. If this is your desire,...More

BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY

Yesterday we learnt it is not right for us to get angry with God or to take offence against Him, even if we experience the deferment of our hopes. The example of John the Baptist who earlier acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah, but later doubted Him because of his painful experience of incarceration is a warning...More
