Meditate. Consider Jesus’ words.
For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will. And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them up at the last day. For it is my Father's will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life. I will raise them up at the last day." John 6:38-40
Are you ready for the last day? Do you know
you’ll have eternal life if you believe in Jesus? That is a big IF. It is the
biggest decision that anyone ever makes. God sent Jesus down from Heaven—like
any Dad would to save his other kids. Jesus was the obedient, perfect Son—doing
His Father’s will. We should all be like Jesus…obediently following our
Father’s will. The best part is that Jesus promised that He’ll raise up all the
believers…His brothers and sisters…at the last day. But don’t be deceived.
Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives. His disciples came to him privately and said, "Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will signal your return and the end of the world?" Jesus told them, "Don't let anyone mislead you, for many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Messiah.' They will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don't panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won't follow immediately. Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. But all this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come. Matthew 24:3-8
He doesn’t want to lose anyone.
God loved the world so much that he gave his
one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have
eternal life. John 3:16
If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them
wanders away, what will he do? Won't he leave the ninety-nine others on the
hills and go out to search for the one that is lost? And if he finds it, I tell
you the truth, he will rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that
didn't wander away! In the same way, it is not my heavenly Father's will that even
one of these little ones should perish. Matthew 18:12-14
Sheep in Israel
Has one wandered away?
Look for the lost one...God does.
Don’t be lost…and don’t be deceived.
Prayer ~ Lord God, Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you. Psalm 25:5
Verse
of Salvation ~ And now you Gentiles have also heard the truth, the Good News
that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his
own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. Ephesians
