Take Jesus to the World
The last two months have been tough for America; we were horrified by the Orlando massacre and the Dallas assassinations. We sense evil amongst us and we can easily fall into despair.
What will happen next? How do we stop the carnage?
When senseless horrors like these occur, we are confronted with the reality that we live in a very imperfect world.
“These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”(John 16:33)
But there is a solution to all of the chaos and healing for the brokenness.
That solution does not rely upon fallible human beings. It relies on our infallible Creator.
How do we mend a human heart? (We don’t. God does.)
No man-made laws (however well-intentioned) can change the human heart. Only Jesus Christ can change our hearts.
Jesus proclaimed, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6)
Jesus has overcome the world and he is, moment by moment, person by person, changing hearts and transforming lives.
Even now, Jesus is fixing our broken world by fixing broken hearts one by one. As people are adopted into his kingdom, healing will spring forth into changed hearts, which in turn, will change the world.
Senseless violence will cease to exist when the whole world realizes the truth of who Jesus is and what he can accomplish.
Let us take Jesus to the world for healing and restoration. We can rely on him. He is, after all, the Savior of the world
