March 17th, 2010 Jesus Is Love: The Only True Saviour For A Dying World
Imagine a modern day sea vessel that is part rusted, corroded in spots; old peeling paint; microscopic cracks in many places, and a few large cracks in others. Imagine if you will a ship with an unsound keel, busted rudders; an anchor hooked on a broken chain; a propeller with missing blades; a bow that has been damaged from salt waters; a deck that is unstable and incapable of sustaining weight for any period of time, and a stern that looks as if it might brake off at any given moment.
Can you imagine yourself sailing across the open seas on an unstable and a totally unreliable vessel as this? A trip on a vessel like this would be a nightmare to say the least! But my friend that’s what many of us Christians really are—an unworthy and unreliable vessel that cannot be trusted to carry any cargo—especially the most sacred cargo of all—the “Word Of God” (John 1;1).
We are living in a dying world (1Corinthians 7:31) and it is Jehovah God desire that all men be saved. That is why He sent His only begotten Son—Jesus Christ into the world to save sinners. Jesus commanded His Apostles and disciples to go forth throughout the world making disciples from all nations, baptizing them in the name of Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that He had commanded His disciples to do (Matthew 28:18-20).
Jesus said to Ananias (speaking about Saul who was also named Paul), “Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel” (Acts 9:15). Modern day Christians are no less of a vessel as Apostle Paul and all the other disciples of Christ at that time (inception of Christianity).
We are not spectators who read the scriptures and marvel at the perseverance and dedication of followers of Christ in biblical times; instead, we are commanded by Jesus to carry the gospel throughout the world teaching and preaching about salvation and repentance in the name of His son Jesus Christ Read “Jesus Is Love”
