Saving Lives

Are we bringing Jesus into every aspect of our lives?

Genesis 45:5

Joseph was sent by God to save lives in his time. Jesus Christ was sent by God to forever save lives. We today in following Jesus are also sent to save souls.

In a broken world by sin, God is constantly trying to save us. Through Jesus we can finally be saved. We must continue this salvation by bringing the world to Jesus.

Have we thought about our duty to bring others to Jesus? We can attract others with our words, actions, and prayers. Unless, however, this goal is in our minds we can go through each day without introducing others to Jesus.

Let us think of what we can do today to bring one person closer to Jesus. A first step may just be bringing their name in prayer and asking God to lead us in how to approach the person. It can all begin in small steps but we can begin today.
