Our meeting
last Wednesday talked about some history of Jesus’ journey and his the life of
his followers. The discussion reminded me how Jesus displayed his message of
repentance and grace. His message attracted so many Jews during his time but
refused by some also. They did not understand even his disciples what His words
meant until His death and resurrection. I was also amazed by those people who
truly believed in Him because they endure the very severe persecutions during
their time. They stand firm for what they believe. Early church Fathers also
continue to preach even if there was many contradictions and hardships they
faced.
What I have
just learned is an encouragement for me to continue to stand firm in serving
the Lord through taking part of sharing His word to the unbelievers. But a sad
testimony for me or even for many Christians that “sharing God’s Word” is
sometimes in mouth only but not in doing. The questions that I have in my mind
are “What if those early Christians did not faithfully preach the gospel? What
will going to happen to the people who followed them? Or the people today?” Giving
importance to what they had done is having a grateful heart by serving God also
and continue the great commission Jesus given to His followers.
I’m not sure
enough where God will going to lead me to a specific ministry but my desire is
to serve Him as a church planter in some of rural or mountainous area in our
place. Right now I’m yet ready to do full time is this ministry but I still
continue to be faithful to the current ministry that God entrusted for me to
do.
