He saved you He saved me What about others?

The return to Zion

Ob 1:21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.
(KJV)

The author of Salvation is obviously Jesus Christ. There is no other being that has saved others as exceptionally as Jesus has. Jesus is in the business of salvation.

One of the ways that Jesus keeps in business is by sending saviors. He sends deliverers. Jesus Christ, the man in flesh can no longer be everywhere at the same time. During His time, He never flew to Galilee. He never drove to Bethsaida. He walked everywhere. When it was time to save someone, He walked there and met the person in need.

The paramount reason for sending saviors is to have everybody saved. The scripture says, and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s. For the kingdom of God to have people residing in it, saviors would have to rise. It is selfish to want to go to heaven alone. One of the things we need to stir up in our hearts as believers is the desire to want someone to be saved as well.

If salvation is as cool as we make it to be. Why shouldn’t everyone be invited? When I was much younger, I had friends that always seemed to have the latest consoles. My friends would go on and on about why I needed to play games on their consoles. I wasn’t nerdy. I just wasn’t interested. The more that my friends talked about their latest games, the more curious I became. In the beginning, I thought I would never ever be interested, but their talking about it caused me to want to try playing games with them. Today, I play football games like a god!

If we don’t preach the gospel of salvation, none would be saved. Had I not been sent a savior, I never would have received salvation. It won’t always be easy. It’s rather hard and odd. More times than not, you’ll be talking to people that are uninterested. Giving up on the commission also isn’t the way to go. Had somebody given up on you, would you still be a believer today?

The gospel of salvation caused many missionaries to travel to remote places in Africa and South America. They’d visit places they were unfamiliar to. The missionaries never went site seeing. They came to preach the gospel. Some died of malaria. It seems a little funny that a mosquito could end the life of a person. Of course, that can happen even now. It isn’t as fatal as it was then. Families got broken because a man left his place of origin to reach out to people that spoke a language that was different.

I am African and yet I am poor at speaking my own language. Language was not a barrier. A different color of skin wasn’t a barrier too. The love of God compeled them to continue to spread the gospel to save dying sinners. Love came down and fell on us. Love walked amongst us. Love walked in flesh and was received not. Love caused you and me to be at the place we are now. Had love not come down, none would testify of the beauty of salvation.
