Look at the Book. Temptation

In the Word of God nothing is clearer than the longsuffering of God which seeks and waits for individuals to repent of their sins before His holiness requires judgment for those sins. He rises to judgment only when iniquity is full. Pray daily that many sinners will find cleansing through the blood of Jesus Christ. Intercede earnestly for unsaved individuals that they will come to God by the “new and living way” (Hebrews 10:20). Pray for the SMS missionaries that they would rise to any occasion to proclaim the Good News “that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15).

Who can estimate the value of a “soul?” To know its worth, walk with the Servant Jesus through the region of Galilee and beyond. Notice His actions and hear the reason why He must accomplish His task. “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life (soul) a ransom for many” (Matthew 10:45).

Then, go to Gethsemane and watch the Sacrificial Jesus sweat, as it were, “drops of blood” (Luke 22:43) in anguish and agony. Knowing that His “hour” had come, Jesus submits to the eternal plan. Listen to those humble words, “Not My will, but Yours be done” (Luke 22:42).

Finally, go to Golgotha and look upon the Savior Jesus uplifted on the cross. Hear that despairing cry, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Matthew 27:46). Behold the thorn-pierced brow, the wounded hands, the pierced side and the wounded feet.

For redemption of mankind, Jesus risked all for all. Hearken to the Sovereign Christ when He says, “It is finished” (John 19:30). There at the foot of the cross, one truly can estimate the value of a soul.

I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.

1 Corinthians 1:10

Pray that the Gospel will reach the millions in the Slavic countries that have not yet heard what Christ has done for them. Many small cities and towns still do not have an official place of worship. Ask God to help the Slavic churches be effective witnesses in their neighborhoods. Pray that souls will continue to be saved, baptized and discipled through the ministries of the church. Pray that the Holy Spirit powerfully and persistently will convict men of sin and lead many to believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world.
