The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Acts 3:16-19, “And on the basis of faith in His name, it is the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all.
17 “And now, brethren, I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your rulers did also.
18 “But the things which God announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that His Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.
19 “Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord…”

When sincere people, who are committed to the LORD, act upon the opportunities afforded them, it becomes immediately evident that the LORD is available to bless the lives of others. Thus, when Peter and John acted in faith toward the beggar who sought only for alms, he was healed, and others looked to the LORD to work in their lives.

A young lady testified recently of multiple sins in her life; but when she came to faith in Jesus, she wanted to share Him with others, who had not yet come to know Him. It is what we might call a “domino effect.” Can you imagine the change that would occur in the nation, if each of us were to share Christ Jesus with just one person?

The LORD multiplies His blessings and pours them out upon those who love Him and share Him with others. There’s nothing stagnant about it. You and I each share Him with others, who share Him with others, and before we know it, scores of people have heard the Gospel Message.

How do you think Peter and John felt when the beggar trusted Christ and started sharing Him with others? I can tell you from experience, they felt GREAT! And so will you when you share Him. But, it’s all more than a “feeling”; it is building rewards that He will give you on that bright and glorious day when His people stand before Him to be blessed! Pray, trust, share, and rejoice!

Trust and obey;
For there’s no other way,
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
