"The Children of the World"

The pastor challenged us last night to get at least one person in our mind that we believed was probably not saved. I immediately thought of Nadia who is the proprietor of Basil Wraps, a Middle Eastern restaurant here in our neighborhood. She is Muslim and is a sweet, kind person. We talk about God because she knows about my faith in Him to help me through the cancer and chemo. We spent some time just last week talking about Christianity and Islam. Of course, she thinks that our "religions" are very much alike. I said, yes, that there were some things that are parallel and that probably our belief in Jesus is the thing that separates us the most. She said, Oh no, that she, too, believed in Jesus, just not that He is God's Son. So pray for me as I hope to open her eyes to the Truth by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Ben's challenge is to witness to the young man who lives in our apartment. He is precious and loving like a son, but he knows nothing about salvation. Ben asked him this morning if he knew anything about John 3:16 and he said that he didn't. Ben told him that he wanted to talk to him about it. He agreed. The world is at our doorstep. A call to the "children of the world" as a missionary effort means just going around the corner for falafel or speaking to your tenant!
Jesus, show Yourself mighty in our lives.
