A lovely and powerful picture.
Matthew 14:19-21 (NLT)The following is a short documentary by CBN, on what God is doing to bring the Gospel to the Muslim world.
Then he told the people to sit down on the grass. And he took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and asked God's blessing on the food. Breaking the loaves into pieces, he gave some of the bread and fish to each disciple, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate as much as they wanted, and they picked up twelve baskets of leftovers. About five thousand men had eaten from those five loaves, in addition to all the women and children!
Isaiah 65:1 (NLT)
The LORD says, "People who never before inquired about me are now asking about me. I am being found by people who were not looking for me. To them I have said, `I am here!'
I'd like to think that people are coming together in this world, on one plane - but often I feel it's being torn apart. Will this new revelation draw us closer together?
ReplyDeleteYes, it does feel that way - tearing apart. Still, we should do what we can to bring people closer together; acting on our beliefs of what is right. The results are only evident from the fruits of our labour. We grow with the experiences gained from the efforts made.
ReplyDeleteIt is my hope that the revelation of the (true) gospel will draw us closer. However, the response to the gospel lies with those who hear it. The heart of it is, how well do we understand Romans 3:21-22? (I like the NLT version.)
For those who does not have a Bible, the following is Romans 3:21-22 (NLT):
ReplyDelete21 But now God has shown us a different way of being right in his sight--not by obeying the law but by the way promised in the Scriptures long ago.
22 We are made right in God's sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done.
