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
9 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.

Bible Reading: Ezekiel 45,46; Luke 1
