JESUS GREAT QUESTION

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: JESUS GREAT QUESTION

Luke 18:8 KJV
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

I want to focus on is Jesus’ statement, "However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?" For years this statement puzzled me. What kind of faith was Jesus talking about? The passage is directed to God’s people, so we know this is not talking about saving faith. Jesus is talking to believers, but what an astounding statement! Jesus is clearly telling us that when he comes back for his people he will not be able to find faith among them.

But what is this faith Jesus is talking about? The answer is simple. It can be answered in the form of a question. When Jesus comes back, will he find a church that is putting its trust in Jesus and His Word? Or will he find a church that has compromised and is relying on the world system to meet its needs and fulfill its desires.

Why don’t Christians get involved in Aggressive Evangelism? Many Laymen do not get involved because of the fear of the rejection of man. The lack of faith Jesus is talking about in this passage is motivated by fear also, but a different kind of fear. This fear is not a fear of man, but rather a lack of trust that Jesus really cares about us individually and will take care of us and our needs if we will walk with him and let Him have His way in our lives, that we do have a future. The sad problem is that most Christians do not have faith in Jesus. They are more concerned about making sure they do not lose what they have on this earth than to let Jesus have his way in their lives and invest in the Kingdom of God.

To have faith in Jesus means to make a willful decision to believe that Jesus loves you and will provide you with what you need, though not necessarily what you want. Jesus put it this way, he said,

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." (Matt 6:19-21).

Why don’t the majority of Christians get involved in aggressively reaching out to the lost, hurting and scattered? Because they have no faith in God’s goodness. Because they do not their focus is not the kingdom of God and His righteousness, but storing up treasures on earth that will not carry on into heaven

I challenge us all today to start working for the expansion of the kingdom and face the burning furnace of the kings for a powerful end time revival.

LET US PRAY
FATHER LET YOUR FIRE OF REVIVAL CONTINUE BURNING IN US AND LET US NOT LOSE OUR FAITH IN YOU IN JESUS NAME.
