I don't know about you, but it's hard for me to imagine praying to anything or anyone other than Jesus. It's hard for me to even imagine not growing up in church!
It's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that people pray to something that isn't living. I know what someone that prays to one of these idols might say: "Well, Jesus died." And that would be completely true. I couldn't argue with that statement, cause Jesus DID die on a cross. But what they left out would be that He ROSE AGAIN 3 days later.
So pretty much what I'm saying is this: Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, died on the cross for our sins, and rose 3 days later to go and prepare us a place in Heaven.
How great it is to serve a living God!
Our job is to tell people about how GREAT it is to serve this Living God! It's our GOAL to win everyone to Chrsit.
So the challenge is going out. Myself included. The challenge is to tell everyone about Jesus and try to win them to Him.
So what else can I say other than: GAME ON!
Song: How Great It Is
Verse: "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" St. John 11:25-26
How Great It Is
The Inspirations
And it broke my heart to see all the tears that he shed alone.
And I knew that it was hopeless and he would not receive
An answer from the gods he served that cannot hear or see.
CHORUS:
How great it is to serve a living God
Who knows each breath I take and every step I've trod.
How great it is to serve a God that's real.
Whe sees my every tear and He knows just how I feel.
2. So I fell down on my knees to pray like so many times before,
And I only ask my God to hear my prayer, Lord, just once more.
And it seemed like the heaven just opened up and I could hear Him say,
"Yes, my child, I can hear you, what do you need today?"
CHORUS
