Do you get frustrated with those who don’t get it when it comes
to Jesus? When you see what people do to themselves by the choices they make
apart from Christ, does it make you just want to go up and yell at them. I know
at times I do. But here are some words from a sermon by Mark Driscoll that
really put those who don't yet believe into the proper perspective.
God opens our
eyes so that we see Jesus as God, Lord, Savior, King, and Christ. So if you
have family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, enemies, they don’t see Jesus for
who he is, don’t get mad at them. Pray for them, keep teaching, keep answering
the questions, keep bringing the Scripture, and wait for the Holy Spirit to
open their understanding. They’re not stupid; they’re blind. Okay? You don’t
yell at blind people, saying, “Don’t you see it?!” That’s mean. It’s really
mean. God’s got to open their eyes, like God’s opened your eyes and my eyes, if
we are Christians.
Nicely put, Mike. A great reminder.
