We live in a world that is
desperately in need of Jesus! God has chosen and called every Christian to be a
part of the answer to the problems the world faces. He has invested in us all
we need to bring hope, salvation, healing and answers to the desperate needs of
humanity.
Jesus did not come into our lives for us to make excuses, but that
we would be adequately equipped to represent Him here on the earth today. Jesus
personally sent the Holy Spirit to us to enable us to be “sufficient
(“able; to make sufficient or fit, to make competent, to qualify” –
Bullinger’s; “to make sufficient” – Young’s; “to enable, i.e. qualify, make able
(meet)” – Strong’s) ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but
of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life . . . Now the
Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty
(“the speaking all one thinks, free-spokenness, as characteristic of a
frank and fearless mind; hence, frankness, boldness” - Bullinger’s; “freedom” -
Young’s & Strong’s).
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a
mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed (“changed,
transformed, transfigured” – Bullinger’s; “to change one’s form” – Young’s; “to
transfigure, transform, change” – Strong’s) into the same image from glory
to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians
3).
I could not agree more, the need is huge always was sir, a nation led by a despot seeking power is at loss. We're seeing the suicide of a super power. It's deeply troubling as is when madness takes the appearance of wisdom. Is the ole saying.
