You Will Tell His People How To Find Salvation Through Forgiveness Of Their Sins.


You Will Tell His People
How To Find Salvation
Through Forgiveness Of Their Sins.
Scripture
Luke 1
76 “And you, my little son,
    will be called the prophet of the Most High,
    because you will prepare the way for the Lord.

77 You will tell his people how to find salvation
    through forgiveness of their sins.

Observation

In Luke 1 we read about the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and we also read about the birth of His cousin John, who would become John the Baptist.
John's father was Zechariah and in Luke 1 we find Zechariah speaking prophetically about both his son John and John's cousin, Jesus Christ.
Zechariah's prophetic word in verse 77 about his son John being a witness should also ring true of us today. You and I should tell people how to find salvation through forgiveness of their sins!
Remember: It is not good people that go to Heaven and bad people that go to Hell. It is forgiven people and only forgiven people that go to Heaven.
John the Baptist was called to be a witness, a voice crying out in the desert, and you and I, if we are followers of Christ have that same calling!
Romans 10
If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 

10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.

13 For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

14 But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? 
15 And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”
Application
I will share about my Savior with everyone I can!
How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I pray for boldness to be able to tell the people that You put in my path about Jesus. Give me love and concern for them. Don't let me miss an opportunity to be Your witness.
I pray today for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. Surround them with Your love and Your strength. You are the God of all comfort and all compassion. Help them through this difficult time.
Daily Bible Reading: Ezekiel 45,46; Luke 1
