“‘I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth…the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh’” (Gen. 9:13-15, NKJV).
The rainbow is a promise that the flood is not going to happen again. But in a way, it’s a reminder that next time He’s going to destroy the world by fire. The world is going to be destroyed again.
What do we do about that? Warn people that the world is going to burn. Do we care enough to share? Even if they’re not here when the world burns up, hell is a place of fire. Do we have the love of God in our hearts compelling us to share the gospel? Why do we share the gospel? Is it because we love all these people so much? We may not feel love for them all equally, but God loves them all. He calls them all his children. They’re all created in His image.
Beyond that, how do you feel when you think about Jesus dying on the cross? Did you ever go to a Good Friday service? Jesus did that for you. We think about that: how Jesus sacrificed His life, died for us, was beaten for us. But He did that for everyone else too. Jesus died so that every person you see today could be saved, could go to heaven, could have a relationship with the Father, could live in fellowship with Him, and could experience the love, joy, and peace that you have in Christ.
Jesus deserves what He paid for. We should tell people about Him because He’s worthy for them to know Him and honor Him. He’s the great God. He deserves worship. He deserves for everyone to honor and worship Him. He did all this so we could be with Him, so that all those people could have the chance to know and love Him. May the lamb that was slain receive the reward of His suffering.
