Colossians 1:10 (King James Version)
Johnson Oatman, Jr. who was a Methodist Episcopal minister, wrote the lyrics to five thousand Gospel songs. One of his songs that I really like is “Worthy the Lamb”. These words in the song should make us search our hearts and see if we are walking worthy of the Lord.
“Worthy is the Lamb, who shed His precious blood to restore a world to happiness and God; “When no eye could pity and no arm could save,” Jesus for our ransom, Himself freely gave.” Are we freely giving ourselves in service to Jesus?
Have we grasped in our hearts the urgency of telling lost souls of a risen Saviour? Do we really care that people are dying without Jesus? If we do care, then we will shut off the television and pick up the telephone and call people. We will go and tell everyone we see about Jesus.
Heavenly Father, please forgive us for neglecting to tell our families, our friends and everyone we see about Jesus, the Saviour of the world. Please give us a desire to witness for Jesus. May we be found worthy in the service of Jesus.
Help us, Father, to love lost people so much that we will pray for them and witness to them. I pray when others look at us that they will see the difference Jesus made in our lives. May we be a shining light for Jesus who died so that we may live.
