Our Message this morning. on the first Sunday of the year.... thought provoking. Taken from Luke 10:25. Two questions:
1- How do I inherit eternal life?
2- Who is my neighbor?
It begins with a firm foundation of Salvation.
Goes on to loving your neighbor more than yourself. More than what you need to do or feel you should do. Putting God first . Looking for opportunities to spread the gospel daily. Loving that person as Jesus would.
The Good Samaritan went out of his way to help one that most Jews would not help. As the account tells us, the priest and Levite looked the other way ... as if he didn't exist. Because of the Good Samartitians care, it made a difference in that wounded mans life.
Do we look the other way? When opportunities come our way. Do we have logical reasons why we couldn't help or fill a need? Or do we do what we can, not counting the cost?
Seems today, I just keep thinking on that message. I want this year, to be a year of reaching out in Jesus name.
My Prayers for this year-
1. Lead me to a soul today
2. Give me a door of utterance
3. The courage to go forward and spread the gospel to those who come my way.
4. To be a Prayer Warrior
I want to make a difference for Jesus sake!
