Say yes to the Word, and be the one who obeys the great commission. It was the movie Shrek where the donkey was jumping up and down saying, “Pick me, pick me!” When it comes to obeying the Word of God, being a doer and not a hearer only, we should be jumping up and down saying, “Pick me, pick me!” I will be the one to say yes and put the Word into practice. In the New Testament, there is a new law, and it is the Law of Love. The Law of Love is pretty simple, yet all encompassing. Is says to love God, and love others. If we are to obey the Great commission to Go and tell, and the Law of Love to love God and others, we won’t keep the good news to ourselves. We have something to share, and it would be a tragedy if all of the people in the our world didn’t know the truth we have found. Sometimes, we lose the urgency, that many of the 7 billion people on earth don’t know about God’s amazing love, and have an opinion that God is the big bad guy in the sky, ready to bring disaster or devastation, or ready to bop you on the head for all your sins. Let’s let them know the truth! God is good! He has a good plan for everyone on the planet, including your friends and loved ones. He sent Jesus because of love, to be love to the world. His sacrifice paid the price so we don’t have to pay for our own sin, but we can receive full forgiveness, and enjoy all the benefits of becoming a part of the family of God. Once we have been reconciled to God, what a joy and privilege to know that God would use us as a vessel of blessing to someone else. Pick me, Pick me, I’m saying yes!
