THERE IS STILL ROOM

Ready

'After the servant had done this, he reported, ‘There is still room for more.’ 'Luke 14:22

“There is still room…. These 4 words have captured my attention since I read this passage of scripture recently. It reminded me of people all over the world who are looking to fill a void in their lives. They are looking for significance, they are looking for identity. They don’t know it yet, but they are looking for Jesus. We are in the midst of a worldwide pandemic. Hundreds of thousands have lost their lives in America and we are hoping and praying that this virus passes soon. “Social distancing”, a safety measure during the pandemic, is the recommendation to stay 6 feet away from people when you are in public to avoid infecting others. While it is recommended to stay 6 feet away from other people and to wear face a mask, God is saying, come close to Him. He is not worried about a virus; He wants a relationship with all who will come.

Because of God's love for us “…there is still room.” While I am committed to the Great Commission of making disciples, I believe that evangelism is a key component to biblical discipleship. As Christ followers, we must be about the work of the Great Commission, going out into the highways and the hedges, the alleys and gutters, in the FCA context, the locker rooms, football fields, wrestling rooms and courts, compelling all to come.  We must do this as long as there is room and guess what…there is still room!

Go

1.   Write your memory of coming to faith in Jesus Christ.

2.   Who has God put in your life who needs to know that there is still room?

3.   Stop now and say a pray for them.

Overtime

Father, I thank you that you loved us so much that while we were still sinning, You sent Your Son, Jesus to die for us. Please use us, Your children to compel all who will, to surrender their lives to Your Lordship and to walk with them as they grow in their relationship with You.
