MORNING MANNA 3-4-26 THE MEANS OF MAKING GOD’S MESSAGE KNOWN “For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!” 1 Corinthians 9:16
Many years ago Bill Bright told the story that years ago at the opening of a disarmament conference, in the midst of a speech of King George of England, someone, tripped over the wires of the Columbia Broadcasting Company, tearing them loose and interrupting service. The chief operator quickly grasped the loose wires in his bare hands, holding them in contact, and for 20 minutes the current passed through him while repairs were being made. His hands were slightly burned, but through them the words of the king passed on to millions of listeners, and were heard distinctly. Without his courage and endurance, the king’s message would have failed to reach its destination.
Now think about how that relates to our responsibility as Christians to communicate the gospel to those in the bondage of sin that they might be delivered from condemnation.
Jesus Christ, the King of Kings, has chosen to send His message of salvation to the lost and dying world through human means. Whatever the cost, circumstances, or consequences we must communicate the gospel to reach those who have never heard. Every faithful Christian who is willing is a human instrument through whom the King’s voice is reaching the lost with a message of deliverance, freedom and peace, which is vastly more important than the message from London.
God forbid that we waste our time on thr frivolous things of this world rather than dedicating ourselves to delivering the glorious gospel to those who are condemned in the sight of God. Their eternal destiny depends on our dedication to the Lord to deliver the only message that can save the lost! Let us start today and not stop until we take our last breath.- HDS
