They Were Focused

I am constantly reminded of the number of people who do not know the peace, hope, and forgiveness of Christ. Since day one of The Movement called the church, the message of Christ has been shared with those far from God. As you trace the early steps of the church in the Book of Acts, you see an evangelistic fervor that would continue for years to come. As the people shared Christ, there was a strong sense of fulfillment knowing they were offering hope. In fact they were offering what no one else could give. They lived and breathed this challenge not because of obligation or duty but of urgency and personal experience.  They woke up thinking of those they could share this message of hope.  The people were united with this purpose and so they shared. Scripture says they focused on unity, ministry, purpose, strategy and action. This Revolution grew and on a regular basis many would experience the forgiveness and hope that only God could give. God had raised them up for such a time as this. He not only chose them to be the catalyst but He empowered them to do so. He favored them in the task and they were careful not to overlook His calling. So we today have been called, empowered, and favored to be the people who share this same Good News.  The Movement Continues today and so we wake up every day thinking of with whom and how we can share this message. Who in your circle of life needs to experience His transforming power of forgiveness and hope?
