A few words can say a lot

There are many instances in the Bible when just a few words triggered a response that changed lives. A targeted few words from the Bible today can have the same impact.  Because the words are from God.

What do you want?  Jesus asked the crowd what they were seeking in John 1:38.  And he asks us that same question today.  What are you looking for?  What is your purpose in life?  

And then a few verses later, he tells the crowd, Come and See. To us, he says, See if what I have to offer satisfies your purpose in life.  Check out the Bible.  Talk to believers to hear their stories.  Come and see if the gospel is what you are looking for.

Them the invitation: Follow me.  Commit to the gospel; we believe with our heart and confess with our mouth.  And continue to follow Jesus from now on.

Near the end of John, Jesus asks Peter a question, that he also asks us, Do you love me?  If we truly love Jesus, then we will obey Him.  We will make disciples because the only command He gave His church is Go and Make disciples; make disciples as you go.

Paul asks a question in Romans 13, What season is it?  It is later than we think, and Paul says wake up.  Go to work.  Go to work making disciples wherever you are.  Wherever you go. 

Our response must be like Isaiah, Here am I.  Send me.
