"Then Jesus said to His disciples, anyone who accepts your message is also accepting me. Anyone who rejects your message is rejecting me. Anyone who rejects me is rejecting God, who sent me!"
Have you ever wondered how important your message about Jesus is to others? What is the impact on their life when you bring them the "good news"? The choice will be up to them individually and the consequences are as important as life and death. If they reject the message that you are bringing them about Jesus Christ, they are rejecting the God who sent Him to save them. Knowing this it is important to explain the consequences of their decision. If they accept the message they accept God and His gift of eternal life. If they reject the message they are condemning themselves to eternal separation from God and the second death.
When we witness about Jesus Christ to others there is a lot at stake. There are life changing ramifications to accepting or rejecting the message of the "good news". The Lord's One Truth for Today tells us that if they accept the message they are accepting God. If they reject the message they are rejecting God. God's plan was to send His only begotten Son to the earth to spread the Good News about His plan for salvation. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the Light and when we open the door to our heart and invite Him in we are obtaining new life and that eternal. That is how important it is that we go and tell others about the Word of God and that Jesus Christ is the only one that can save them.
The ones who listen to you and your message are really listening to Jesus Christ Himself and that includes God who sent Him. The ones who reject the message that you bring to them are really rejecting Jesus Christ Himself and the one who sent Him. As a disciple of the Lord we have a duty to bring the message of peace and joy and eternal life to everyone we know. The kingdom of God and heaven are close at hand. Every person needs to come to repentance for their sins and allow Jesus Christ to Save them and show the mercy of God. Everyone has a choice and when it comes to Jesus Christ and accepting or rejecting God. Their lives are at stake. ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM.
