DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY

In relationships, you discern the depth of your partner’s commitment through how far they can concede prized possessions or cherished careers to sustain the bond. Can they forego things dear to them, their families, professions, talents, hard-earned money, etc. to save the partnership from falling apart? Can one member of the threatened union afford to suffer loss, all in the bid to give a new lease of life to an association on the brink?

For Apostle Paul, there was no end he would not go to have his kinsmen, the unbelieving Jews of the First Century, saved from the wrath of heaven. Himself, the product of the great love and compassion of the Lord, who had died in his stead for his sins, He now declared solemnly that he was ready to sacrifice his life also for the Jews who rejected and killed Christ, the Saviour. The apostle had tasted of the measureless mercy of God. He desired to spare no effort to get his compatriots into this orbit of grace so they would not perish in their sins. It was not an idle wish.

The Lord expects all who follow Him to have the same Pauline approach to winning souls into the kingdom. The apostle recognised a pattern and stuck to it. He saw how Christ made the supreme sacrifice to save him and humanity. Faithful Christians must also go the extra mile, including laying down their necks, to make the lost come to Christ and escape the impending eternal punishment. This does not mean we should deliberately seek death to bring people to Christ – the supreme price was already paid by Jesus Christ. But if persecution, trials, and danger come, we should never be wanting there.

It follows then that if those who need to receive the message of hope from the Christian do not get it and they end up in hell because we refused to sacrifice for them, the believer shall not be guiltless. The Lord will hold the negligent believer responsible. Before it is too late, those who have enjoyed the immense benefits of Christ’s sacrificial redemption should move fast and put in all it requires to reach the dying souls.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Fruitful evangelism is always a product of sacrifice.
