Family Devotion Day 35: It only takes a spark

Read

Romans 10:14-15 “How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!’ ”

Do you know what God longs for? It is that everyone – people of every nationality and language – turn away from their sin, know and worship God.

Once, people from far-off countries speaking unusual languages were so hard to reach. Missionaries had to travel to their countries and villages and live with them so that they could share the Gospel with them. Now, they are right in our neighbourhood, living and working among us. They are in our coffee shops, supermarkets, schools and train stations.

All of us are told to look out for and save those who don’t know Jesus. How will they know Jesus unless we tell them? How can they believe unless we share the Gospel with them? They are right here, at our doorstep. Now is the time to share God’s love with them.
