I read a story one time about a gathering of angels who had gathered around the Lord Jesus Christ after He had come back from earth. They were asking Him questions, and one angel said, "Lord, how are you going to spread the Gospel message throughout the world?" Well, the Lord Jesus said, "I have called out some disciples to carry out my Great Commission. They in turn will go and share this wonderful message with others who will respond, and they in turn will go and share with others who need to be saved."
Surprised, the angel said, "Are you telling me that you have entrusted the task of getting out the message of eternal life and salvation to those earthlings counting on them to be witnesses to the Gospel message and take the gospel around the world?"
The Lord Jesus said, "That’s absolutely right."
The angel said, "Well Lord, if they don’t do what you command them to do, what is Plan B?" To which the Lord replied, "There is No Plan B.”
If you want to know how God intends to reach a lost world for Jesus Christ, go home and look in the mirror. It’s not just the responsibility of pastors and evangelists to spread the gospel around the world. It’s up to all of us.
There is no Plan B.
If we do not do it in the power of God’s Spirit, it will not be done. 2nd Corinthians 5:20 "We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us”.
Be an ambassador for Jesus!

HI,
ReplyDeleteI first heard this illustration from Josh as we were preparing to enter Juarez, Mexico.
God reminded me of it every day while we were there.
While we were ministering in the colonia of San Francisco, surrounded by gang members (some who were selling drugs) I prayed this back to God. "God we are here, please bless this time. There is no plan B"
A dust storm blew up, the sound went out while Josh was giving the plan of salvation but inspite of all satan's attempts to stop what we were doing, many people prayed to receive Christ. Even 2 gang members.
God is all powerful and loves when His diciples decide to share the wonderful story of the gospel.
