I sit here amazed. Amazed at the access God gives people to communicate His gospel and truth in ways that were unimaginable several generations ago. In a few minutes when I finish writing this at the push of a button this information will be accessible all over the world.
Just yesterday I saw where people visited this site from two foreign countries. Peru. Ukraine. That is available because gifted men and women who understand technology and how to make it work have given us this gift. Through their expertise I have been afforded by God this platform to glorify His name and testify to His faithfulness. The messages are not just limited to the congregations where I preach and teach. So there is no misunderstanding I point people to Jesus. The only Savior. The only way to salvation. [Jn 14:6]
Jesus. The Son of God [John 3:16]. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin [Luke 1:26-2:16]. Prophesied about hundreds of years before He was born [Is 53:5-6]. Miracle worker healing many and setting people free from demons [Mark 5:1-43]. He still does. He forgives people [I John 1:9] [Rom 5:8]. He died on the cross to pay the punishment for the sins of the world [Matt 27:1-66]. He purchased salvation to those who will believe Him for it. He paid the ransom for sin that held us hostage to the eternal wrath of God. He died on that cross. He did not stay dead. As He predicted He arose on the third day [Matt 28:1-15]. You can read all of this in the Bible books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. He also predicted He would return [Matt 24:1-43]. He warned people of times of tribulation coming in the end days. He warned people a judgment day is coming when people will have to give an account for how they lived. [Rev 21:11-15]
This message has been ridiculed and mocked through the ages. It has been ignored by millions and rejected. I am also happy to report millions and millions have turned from their sins to Jesus. Atheists and agnostics. Muslims and misinformed. Catholics and Lutherans. New Agers and hippies. Drug addicts and prostitutes. Convicted criminals and law enforcers. Millions and millions have found new life in Jesus all over the world.
It is my hope and prayer that God might use this simple gospel presentation to reach more. One more. Ten more. A hundred more. Because at the push of a button this message will go out. It will be available in countries where the gospel is banned and following Jesus illegal. It will be available to rich and poor. Powerful and obscure. In and outside gospel saturated nations. All that at the push of a button.
Today I am not able to get on a plane and travel to the far ends of the earth to preach this message. What I can do is write it and at the push of the button fulfill; "And He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.'" [Mark 16:15]NKJV I do that now at the push of a button.
