Who Will Go?
Isaiah 6:8: Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ” Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? “Then I said, “here am I send me!”
The church needs to be challenged constantly. It is so easy to become a hearer instead of a doer. If this is the kind of hearing that we have, all we have is selective hearing; we hear only what we want to hear.
Mark 16:15 And He said to them” Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to all creation.
I believe the Lord is still speaking to the church today; “Whom shall I send, who will go for us? Do we hear? Do we want to hear?
What is it that the Lord wants from the church and us as individuals?
He wants us to bring the good news, the gospel out into the world. Some might say; I pray for the world every day! I read the bible every day! I go to everything that is going on at the church! Is that bringing the gospel, the good news out into the world?
You might say; “Being a good church member is my testimony! Is it? Is that good news to the world? Is that touching the world out there in some special way? When the Lord says; “Whom shall I send, who will go for us? Is that where He wants us to go?
I encourage you be a good member of the body of Christ, the church. Do not make it your hiding place, or your excuse that we are not called out into the world. If you do, your spiritual growth will stop there.
