Acts 2:21
And everyone
who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved ~ Acts 2:21
Anyone and everyone
who calls out to Jesus is brought into the saving grace of Him who died for us!
The resurrected Lord Himself draws us near to Him, beckoning us to receive His
poured-out redemption. I was talking to a neighbour and he asked me what I did
as a “job”. (Of course, I do not think of what I do as a pastor a job – it is a
calling on my life!) I told him I was a pastor, and he went in to a long story
about his background, finishing with “He was too much of a sinner to go to
church.” Church, or anywhere we encounter Christ, is exactly where we should
be, for church is the hospital for the sick, or, it should be. But most
certainly near Christ is the hospital for the sick. Jesus said, “It is not the healthy
who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but
sinners” (Mark 2:17; Luke 5:31, 32; Matthew 9:12, 13). His healing power
releases us from the bondage of sin – all sin. He releases us from the bondage
of guilt, and remorse; from our past offences. The Apostle Paul stated there
was no one less worthy of the grace found in Christ, yet, look at how he was
favoured by God to spread the Gospel message! The love and grace Paul found is
waiting for all who will call upon the name of Jesus. I know, I found it, and
so did you! Spread the news! He saves!
