A Christian Responsibility

A Christian Responsibility
We Christians have a responsibility before God that is greater than that of any other faith.
We cannot shelter ourselves by saying the eternal resting place of those around us is not my affair, because it is.
Jesus said,
“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” 
                                                                   Matthew 28:18-20.
Jesus made it clear,
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” 
              John 14:6
A fierce light shines on the Christian. We are the light upon The Hill.
We cannot do anything lightly.
God has placed in our hands the way to life eternal with Him. We cannot neglect the world beyond the walls of our church congregations.
We must present, not force, the saving grace of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in a loving caring manner to all whom we come in contact with.
In order to do this we must first and foremost Love God with all our heart, mind, and soul. We must also love our neighbours.
Jesus said,
“ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’  
This is the first and greatest commandment.  
And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” 
                                                                                     Matthew 22:37-40.
Not only that but we must love our enemies. Jesus telling us,
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’  
But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,  
that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.  
If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?  
 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?”
  Matthew 5:43-47
We cannot afford to show anything less.
Francis of Assisi said,
“We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to bring home those who have lost their way.”
