Why do you think God refers to us as His sheep? Because we are helpless against the world without Him. Sheep need leadership. They have to have someone acting as a shepherd otherwise they will be lost and we are lost spiritually without Jesus.
I don’t mean, “Do you know ABOUT Jesus?”. I mean do you KNOW Jesus? He is the Messiah, the One who came from Heaven to take the punishment for ALL of humanity’s sins. He paid the price for all our souls so we could regain a relationship with God the Father. Like there was in the Garden of Eden in the beginning. God still desires this relationship with as many people who will believe in Jesus’ sacrifice for them. He loves us that much.
Does this world make sense today? In many ways, it doesn’t. So many unusual things are happening everywhere that it is difficult to make sense of them all. Reason and “common sense” don’t seem to have any sway over people today. Life is hard in some places and more challenging in others. Drought, wars, and pestilence are causing so many deaths in the world and causing many to fear and tremble, worrying about what will happen tomorrow. Anxiety is rampant, and people worry about many things, not knowing what is coming.
I believe the reason for all of this anxiety and worry is that people have not looked to the One Who has told us about this time. God had His prophets write many prophecies about the time that we are living in. Today, people are more concerned with their profiles on social media than they are about their immortal souls. God has laid out in the Bible every piece of the puzzle pertaining to today and tomorrow. It takes faith and prayer to understand much of it, but it can be understood.
I pray for all of those who might read this and wonder what I’m talking about. Seek the answers to your worries in God’s Word. Give your heart to Him and be saved from the wrath that is coming soon. I know that it has been a bit more than 2,000 years since Jesus was crucified but the day is coming when He will call the church home to Himself. Then the whole world will fear what is coming, especially those who have been in church but never gave their lives to Jesus. Don’t wait because we don’t know the day or the hour that He will come.
Jesus said for us to “tell the gospel to the world”; if we don’t let the people into the church and if we don’t go into the world…how can we fulfill His command?
