Love Someone To Christ

About 7 years ago two of my Grand Children were riding to the Supermarket with me when I over heard E.J. tell Kristina, “My teacher said there is going to be a hotel in Outer Space. Isn’t that cool?” “Yeah, we can go there someday.” “I have something beyond that I interrupted,” “I already have a home bought and paid for in Outer Space.” Krissie said, “You do? How did you get that?” I replied, “The King paid for it, just for me.” “He did?” they exclaimed together in amazement. Krissie ask, “Why did He do that?” I answered, “Just because I believed in Him; His name is Jesus.” They both said, “We believe in Him too, do we have a home also?” “You sure do I said; right on streets of gold.” E.J. said, “That’s cool!” While they listened with wide- eyed attention I explained about the New Jerusalem coming down with gates of pearl and of Jesus’ return.

What a wonderful opportunity it was to share the love of God and the riches of our Christian inheritance with my Grand Children. We are instructed in the Word to teach our children along the way.

Our homes and physical bodies will soon come to an end but we have a “spirit man” who will live on. It’s our Christian responsibility to share the “Good News” and of our future home with as many people as possible. February, the “Love Month” is a great time to look for ways to share the love of God. The signs of the times in which we live remind us daily that time is running out. We must, together, take the Gospel and run with it as souls are weighing in the balance. Make special effort to love someone to Christ this month. I Corinthians16:22…Maranatha! (The Lord cometh)

Love and prayers,
