When Jesus spoke to the world, He made the most incredible offer … “that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life”.
He offered us eternity.
And when He offered us eternity—He offered ALL of us eternity.
And then He said this:
Matthew 16 13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
At the heart of this is the simplest of messages:
Stand Up
Distinguish Yourself
Share The Treasure With Others
It is a simple message really.
And yet … in a broken world … it is almost impossible.
The Gospel, in its purest form, TRANSFORMS.
It changes the very atmosphere.
At a Broncos game on January 3, 2016, Peyton Manning jogged onto the field at Mile High Stadium. I did not see him enter the game—but I didn’t need to—the stadium literally came to life to the point where I asked “what is going on?” You could feel the entire crowd in a “dead” stadium “come to life”.
And this transformation is nothing compared to what Jesus can do.
His offer is to save us.
And then for us to make sure that everyone else hears the offer.
We are to TRANSFORM.
We are to let His light shine.
We are to make sure that the world hears this incredible message.
“For God so loved the world that He
gave His one and only Son”
In The Name of the Father and the
Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
