The Great Turning

 Scripture:

“They also say that all people of every nation must be told in my name to turn to God, in order to be forgiven. So beginning in Jerusalem,” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭24:47‬ ‭CEV‬‬

Observation:

In this passage, Jesus had died and resurrected from the dead.  He was about to ascend to the Father and told His disciples that people in every nation needed to be told to turn to God to be forgiven, starting in Jerusalem. This command was the last command of Jesus and is still being lived out today.

Application:

We must be about our Father’s business. His business is souls turning from sin and turning to God. I believe now, more than ever, we must be about the business of helping people turn to Christ. In turning to God, they will be restored, healed, delivered, etc. In my heart, I believe 2022 will be a year of many turning to Christ with all their heart.

Prayer:

Lord God, let Your church arise and shine with Your glorious light. Empower Your people to preach Your Gospel with anointing and power. Teach me to declare Your word appropriately and to bring lost people back to the Father, I want to fulfill this commission of  Jesus. Let multitudes turn to way from sin this year and let them turn to God.

Yours,

Jeff
