Our Responsibility — Part 4
“Freely ye have received, freely give” (Matthew 10:8).
When we think of what we have been freely given by grace, it ought to motivate us to tell others of God’s wonderful gifts and blessings through Christ and the work of Calvary.
May the Lord help us to be sensitive to the need of the lost and perishing people all around us. May we wake up and realize the truth expressed by the four lepers in the days of Elisha; “This is a day of glad tidings, and we hold our peace” (2 Kings 7:9)?
The time is short. The coming of the Lord is near! Soon the day of grace will be over, and there will be no more opportunities to speak a word for Christ or to have compassion on the lost souls around us. Let’s pray that the Lord will help us to be faithful in the responsibility that He has given to each one of us, so that we will have the joy of hearing from His lips these words: “Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord” (Matthew 25:21).
