“Heal the sick, and tell them, ‘The Kingdom of God is near you now.”
Luke 10:9 (NLT)
As the disciples left for their mission, they were to spread the message that “the Kingdom of God is near you now.” What an incredible message we have to share with others! Jesus Christ came to earth, lived 33 perfect years, died a cruel death on the cross, took our sins upon Himself, was buried, and rose again to conquer sin and death! Our message brings hope and offers life! Together, let’s pray that God opens opportunities for us to share our testimonies with those who desperately need Christ. Pray that Christ’s love and free gift of salvation is clearly communicated and positively accepted.
Prayerfully,
Madison
Every time I turn on the TV, or hear another news report about terrorism attacks, shootings, or yet another threat, I have a tendency is to wring my hands in desperation, and wonder what in the world is going on. If I’m not careful, I’ll lie awake in the middle of the night trying to solve the world’s problems!
When we look at the life of Jesus and His ministry here on earth, we see that He always tended to the physical needs of people before He addressed their spiritual needs. You may have heard the saying “people don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.” Although we are not doctors, we certainly have resources that can help address the physical needs of those who are hurting around us: love, time, an encouraging word, a warm smile, financial assets, food, etc.
