Who Belongs?

Instead of rejoicing, with the desire of the lost to hear the truth, the jews despised sharing what they perceived as ‘their truth‘ with anyone outside of their people.

When we proclaim God’s truth concerning salvation, it should be with the hope that people will be drawn in – desiring to know the truth. It is not for us to decide who hears – only that we proclaim. Our attitude toward the lost must be that God loves them and thus we too must love them. Tattoos, short skirts, sordid pasts, etc. should never keep us from sharing the truth. Our truth is the truth meant for the whole world.

I mean … think about it. People don’t hide a lamp under a bowl. They put it on a lampstand. Then the light shines for everyone!! He gave us this gift, our salvation through Jesus Christ, to tell all people the Good News about the riches Christ has. (Matthew 5:15; Ephesians 3: 8)

Father help us not to be selfish with our truth and our faith. Place in us a desire that all men should know and honor You!
