Messengers For God

"In very truth I tell you, he who receives any messenger of mine receives me; receiving me, he receives the One who sent me." (1)

Do you comprehend what Jesus here is saying? In these words, Jesus stated a most amazing truth. He is saying that anyone who receives a messenger of His is receiving Christ Himself, and more than that, he is receiving the Father.

When you and I share the love, wisdom and knowledge of Jesus with family, friends and neighbors, and they accept our witness, they are receiving the Spirit of Christ and of God into their lives. They receive Jesus and God the Father through us. This is awesome. What a privilege it is to bring Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, and the Father Himself to a child of God who may not know Him.

Have you considered this. Making friends for Jesus is making friends for eternity. We have the opportunity to be messengers for Christ. As His messengers we are involved with introducing people to Jesus, who loves them, and forgives their sins and cleanses them. He is their Friend, and our Friend.
