The Master Passion

Luke 19:10 “The Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

Why did Jesus come? Was it to make the sinners fell better about their sinning by freely forgiving all and bring assurance of heaven, even if they feel no remorse, have no repentance for what they do while rejecting God and Word? No. I read that the most characteristic feature of Jesus Christ is that He is the Savior of the world. He declared that He came to seek and save the that which was lost, but not leave them lost in sin. If Jesus Christ has come into our hearts and taken over our lives, that characteristic feature of His life will be the reproduced in us an we will have a genuine interest in the souls of those who are hell bound. The master passion of the Lord to seek and save the lost becomes ours too. Those who do not know “the gift of God” in redemption at the cross for the forgiveness of sin are “dead men walking”. Jesus is the antidote, but many of the lost done realize that they are lost because of the sin nature of the fallen fleshly desires, because of the pressure from the God-rejecting world system in our culture, and because of the tempting lies of the devil, so they do not know or accept the antidote to save their life. Sin is death – Proverbs 14:12 / 16:25.

Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

The Lord has a grand adventure for each of us; a great purpose for us to fulfill. We are here for a reason. Jesus said to the Apostle Peter, “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people” - Matthew 4:19. 

In effect, the Lord was saying, “I will give your life meaning, significance, and purpose in the work of the kingdom that you cannot even imagine ... increasing the population of heaven, by reducing the population of hell.

Acts 4:12 “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

We have been blessed to be a blessing to others. We have been sought after and found by the Lord for Salvation to seek and save the lost and dying by shining the light of the gospel in their lives, so they find forgiveness and redemption at the foot of the cross, in the atoning blood of Jesus, that the Holy Spirit transforms their heart and regenerates their spirit unto salvation. This is the master passion. Get passionate about seeking and saving the lost.

Romans 3:23-24 “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.”
