Yet if we are to be faithful ambassadors of Jesus Christ, we must proclaim Him as the only way of salvation. "Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).
Now I am committed to this truth and to declaring it unapologetically, regardless of what the world may say. But I confess that there have been times when I have been committed to it volitionally without being moved by it emotionally.
Yesterday a colleague sent me a link to the following video by R. C. Sproul who expounds on the exclusivity of Christ by telling a 7-minute story - the story of redemption and God's offer of salvation. Listen to this message. It could be the most meaningful seven minutes of your day. And you may very well want to pass it on to a loved one who does not know Christ, as this is one of the most tender presentations of the Gospel I've heard in a long time.
I have to say at first I was not interested in watching once I observed that there was music, talking, and powerpoint... the combination is usually a turnoff and tends to direct itself toward emotional leading (with music).
ReplyDeleteWell, once I got past the music portion and focused on Sproll's voice alone... what a powerful presentation of the gospel. Not dumbed down or overly churchy (using church words that unsaved do not understand) but direct, clear, and a blessing to hear.
Thanks for sharing, something, well, not stupid on facebook...
Thanks, Matt! Great, clear message of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
