Never Give Up

“A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths.

The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.” -Revelation 9:18, 20-21

When Jesus was on earth, He had people who chose not to follow Him even though He was perfect in word and action. Not only did some choose not to follow Him, Jesus had people who were passionately against Him.

Unlike Jesus, we have all sinned and we are not perfect, so why would we think we will get a better result than Jesus?

No matter how hard you pray, how much you work at it, and regardless of how deeply you hope others will choose to follow Jesus, there will be some who will choose to follow the world instead.

This is heartbreaking because we know they are making a terrible trade by choosing the broad road that leads to destruction (Matthew 7:13).

Keep sharing the Gospel, praying for your spiritually lost friends, and continue working to improve your ability to share the Gospel with skill. However, don’t give up when others do not choose life in Jesus! Instead, keep laboring in Kingdom work! Some people will respond and that will make an eternal difference! Don’t give up on people as God never gave up on you!

Right on?

Read/listen to Revelation chapters 8-10

Prayer focus: talk to God about the people you want to share the Gospel with and ask that Jesus changes their lives regardless of what you see right now
