The Lord would have been pleased to see His followers planting seeds to those who may be lost. Would you agree that by going out into the streets where the masses are that it would be honoring our Master? He told us that if we follow Him He would make us fisher's of men. (Mat 4:19, Mark 1:17) We would deny ourselves and take up our cross. (Mat. 16:24) And of course knowing we couldn't do it without His help, He tells us how we will be able to accomplish what He has commanded us to do! (Acts 1:8)
Please correct me if I'm wrong
- Does anyone know of a fisherman who does not go out to fish?
- The fish don't come to them do they?
- Denying ourselves and taking up our cross doesn't sound like doing the things that we like to do, does it?
- Doing only what's comfortable to us or convenient doesn't sound like the burden the Lord was taking about either, does it?
His prayer in Luke 10: 2 was for the Lord to send out more laborers, because the laborers are few...Are you one of the few or the many?
I had one young man tell me that his father told him, that when Jesus came He abolished the Law and mankind was no longer under the Law. All that was needed now was for us to Love our neighbors. I asked him had he read that himself in the scripture and he said, "No". I asked if he would like to read what Jesus said in the Bible and he said, "Not really, that I should meet with his father and show him.
How sad it is that the phrase , "I know what I know so don't confuse me with the truth!" seems to be so popular.
It's starts in Mat. 5:17, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until in and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
So what's your take on this? Does it read that if we are out teaching others about God's Ten Commandments, we are pleasing the Lord, but if not... Well you read the verse and come to your own conclusion.
Would love to hear your take on it.
