Devotional: The Desire of Our Father to Save
Who did Jesus primarily come for? (Mark 2:17, 1 Timothy 2:3-4).
God wants everyone to be saved. He will never discriminate regardless of what you may have done wrong or how “bad” you are. Most people do not know God as a perfect Father. Jesus came to show us the heart of our Father and He represented Him in full. He showed us that God is not an old man with a big stick, just looking for a reason to smack us! (Luke 4:18 – 20, Romans 8:11,32, Hebrews 1:1-3).
Why can’t the world see him? (2 Corinthians 4:4).
He is a forgiving Father who is quick to forgive and abundant in mercy (Psalm 86:5, 2 Chronicles 7:14). Part of God’s salvation is the fact that He is quick to forgive and to cleanse us. Jesus came to pay the ultimate price for our forgiveness and salvation.
Testimony:
A friend and I were praying one day when the Lord directed us to go to a specific place in a shopping mall to witness to someone. Arriving there, we met a man and started to talk to him about Jesus. We were surprised when he told us that he had actually come to the mall in an attempt to run away. The very morning his grandmother had phoned him to say that two of God’s servants would visit him to tell him about Jesus. He thought that by coming to a public place, he would escape this! I was amazed to see how God would go the extra mile to reach an individual. This man repented and began to follow Jesus.
Reflective questions:
- Who did Jesus primarily come for?
- Whose heart did Jesus come to represent here on earth?
- Do you have an assurance of salvation? Explain.
