2 Weeks to Go.

With only two weeks left, the time to go home is coming quick. There's one thing I have noticed lately. We can share the gospel to several people throughout the week, and they all can have a different reaction or interest to it. Some may listen politely, only to reject it, and others may reject the gospel immediately. On the other hand, there are some that have question after question, and we slowly peel back the layers. Then there are some cases where they believe on the spot. We could even deliver the message to two people at the same time and get two completely different reactions. The differences in how they accept or reject the gospel is not dependent on anything or anyone. Only on how the Lord is drawing a person to himself. Everyone is certainly called, we can see that from scripture, but there are few that the veil has been torn, and they are able to see the "light of the gospel of the glory of God, in the face of Jesus Christ." We can do our best contextualize the message to the culture and their own beliefs, and even persuade and argue the truth of the gospel just as Paul did, but if the Holy Spirit is not present, there will be no change. Nonetheless we continue to share, knowing that they cannot believe unless they have heard, they cannot hear unless someone preaches to them, and no one can preach unless they are sent. But having full confidence of this, that whoever believes, even if only one, God is faithful to continue the good work he began in them, until the day of Jesus Christ. Who knows, maybe that one will be the person God uses to transform South Asia with the gospel.
