WHO HAS OUR ATTENTION? No. 4.
Men, if ever there was a time when our nation needs to hear from Jesus Christ, that time is now. We face the ISIS threat, Planned Parenthood selling body parts of precious babies, the ever increasing racial divide and Black Lives Matter, destruction and mayhem in our cities, and lone wolves who take revenge into their own hands and kill innocent people. And the list could go on. At the same time, a large portion of people in the nation are taken up with entertainment and loose living that they hardly know what’s going on in the real world.
Our nation certainly needs to hear the voice of God through Jesus Christ. However, God uses His people who intently listen to Him to be His medium through whom He can speak. Isaiah 6:8 says: “And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.” God tells Isaiah in the rest of this chapter what to say to a nation that is not interested in hearing Him.
Isn’t it amazing that God, in His grace, should still try to speak to people who do not want to hear Him?
Men, as people who call ourselves Christians, we have a great responsibility to listen to the voice of Jesus Christ so that we can tell it to our families, churches, friends, and nation--whether they want to hear it or not!
Be encouraged.
