Be There

"Be There"

A few pointers from the message:

I had a little pressing from the Lord — so I'm going to press you with it.

If you ain't a missionary for the Lord Jesus Christ, you need one. And if He's already sent you one or a few, but you causally blew them off, I'd try to find who He sent or beg for another. Jesus knows the consequences and ruin of meeting Him face to face and not being a missionary of His. He lived, died, and shed His untainted lifeblood to make every believer a missionary.

He will accept no excuses, no exclusions, no exemptions — when that face-to-face comes for everyone. The narrow way, through Him and Him alone, is only extended and experienced in this life, while we breathe this air. We die without His life filling ours, in this here and now… we'll have no legitimate exclusions, exemptions, or excuses to offer for not trusting and living for Him today. His mercies must be completely and adequately applied while living to be acceptable when we die. Everyone will give an account of what we did with Jesus or better yet — what Jesus did with us — in this life. So don't let time and life run out on you before you run out of excuses before Him. Give up, give in, go all out for Jesus — He went all out, even poured out His lifeblood to save and be poured into every believer. Remember, He lived, died, and shed His untainted blood to make every believer a missionary.

The conclusion… either you are a missionary, living on a mission for Jesus, or you stand in need of a faithful friend of Jesus. Don't brush it off.

If we're wrong on Jesus, we'll be wrong on everything and everyone — no matter how right we may feel or successful we may appear.

You won't be
