Being a sent one

Posted by on Apr 3, 2013


There was a land far away…

A good ruler lived in a small town with remote villages around it.  Some of the villages were so small that the only way of communication was by a rough road, up the side of a mountain.  For many years the town and its surrounding villages were at peace, but a new ruler from another town was about to change that. 

This foreign ruler was in route to the peaceful town with threats of destroying all that he found in his way.  The good ruler, aware of the impending doom of his people as well as the surrounding villages; sent messengers to warn them.  The villagers would not have known of the approaching enemy, if the ruler in the town had not sent messengers beforehand.
In a similar way Jesus Christ has commissioned sent ones out to the remote places of the world to warn of an enemy, and an impending destruction.  This enemy however is not coming, but has come, and resides inside in the heart of every person that lives – this enemy is your sin.  But the good news; is reconciliation to God through Jesus Christ for all that believe!
