JESUS DIED FOR “OTHERS”!

JESUS DIED FOR “OTHERS”!
Scripture : Matthew 26:28
Topic: Jesus Died For "Others"

"For this is MY BLOOD of the new testament, which is SHED FOR MANY for the remission of sins.." 
Matthew 26:28

Jesus Christ died for the whole world. He gave His blood to save “others”.. After loving “others”, living for “others”, serving “others”, caring for “others”, ministering to “others” and healing “others”, Jesus went one further step and died for “others”. What do you do for “others”?.

Most of us would not even lift a finger for “others”. The idea of dying for “others” is unthinkable to most of us. “Why should I die for someone?” .

“I don’t even want to die for myself!”

“Let them go to hell!” is the unspoken cry of many believers today. They say, “I do not know how people got into their unfortunate state.. It is not my fault that people are going to hell.. It is not my fault that people are suffering. I didn’t cause the problems and I don’t see how I am going to solve them.”

Many of us think to ourselves, “These ungrateful people do not deserve even five minutes of my time. They will not appreciate all the efforts I make.” But Jesus Christ came into the world to save ungrateful people who, mostly, do not appreciate what He has done for them.

He came unto His own and His own received Him not. Jesus died for us. Yet, just a few people have received Him as Saviour. If you think about whether people will appreciate what you do for them, you will never do the will of God.

It is time to become like Jesus!. It is time to listen to the heart of Jesus and follow how He cares for “others”!

    May I be like Jesus, who cares for others, may my heart be moved with compassion for the lost and dying souls, and reach out to them leading them to salvation.

    Lord fill my heart with humility, compassion and love to do Your will and seek after the lost and perishing souls whether they appreciate it or not.

    Amen! Never think about people appreciating what you do for them, you will never do the will of God if you keep on waiting for them to do so.

REASONS WHY YOU MUST REDEEM THE TIME - PART 4

Scripture: Psalm 90:9-12 Topic: You must redeem the time because that is the only wise thing to do with your life. Unfortunately, many people do not treat time and opportunity as a special commodity. Time is something rare and precious, which God gives to all of us. It is the only thing you cannot regain or get back. When it is gone, it is gone forever. God’s admonition to us is to use the time we have on earth to do as much for Him as possible. We must work while it is day. The only wise thing to do with your life is to redeem the time for the work of the Lord. "For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts un...

THE POWER OF BEING THANKFUL - PART 6

Scripture : Romans 1:21 Topic : Unthankfulness in a person is a door to many evils.  "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, NEITHER WERE THANKFUL; BUT BECAME VAIN IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS, AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART WAS DARKENED..."  Romans 1:21 The scripture above shows us clearly that many of the evils and perversions in this world came through unthankfulness. When men discovered more about the creation and discovered the beautiful earth that God had made, they were not thankful.  When they discovered planets, when they discovered the moon and when they discovered the stars, they were not thankful to God. And because they were unthankful, they became vain in their imaginations. Your imaginations become more vain, the more unthankful you are.  When people are unthankful they become almost mad. Their unthankfulness is a form of insanity. Why would you not be grateful for the oxygen you breathe, the air you breathe, the water you drink, the life t...

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.  Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17.  Topic: Why Prayer is Mysterious Part 3.  Prayer is mysterious because God is mysterious! God is mysterious and there is nothing we can do about it! If you think you will ever know everything about God then you must think again! God is not a man and we cannot know everything about Him. It is precisely because of the mysteries surrounding God that a lot of people do not pray.  In this series of our quiet time we will see the mysteries surrounding prayer and we will learn that these mysteries should not keep us from prayer but rather draw us closer in search of answers. 3. Mysteriously, God seems to want us to keep asking about the same things even though we have asked Him before.  "Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17  If God did not know about our problems on the first day, He must know our problems and our needs by the third day of our prayer. If He knows all things so well, why does...
