If you didn’t read my last post I will be going on another trip, for 3 months to Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina!! Will you help me, as I continue to spread the love of Jesus around the world? Right now I am 5% funded! (more info about this Here)
Last month in Panama, while working with CRU, we got these simple bracelets with the words ’THE FOUR’ and four symbols on it: a heart, a division sign, a cross and a question mark…this bracelet is a simple and visual way to share the gospel.
I still wear it everyday while in Colombia and the other day one of the girls at our after school program (who speaks English) asked me about it! So I told her!
The heart represents that God loves us.
The division sign represents how sin separates us.
The cross represents Jesus died for us on the cross.
The question mark represents how you respond to the gospel.
She responded: I don’t know, what am I supposed to do? Can you tell me?
That is a question a lot of us ask, but it’s something we figure out for ourselves…(with some help) but ultimately we all control our own actions and how your respond to the gospel, and its so wonderful that Jesus lets us have this freedom of response to this great act of love. He does not demand that everyone must or has to love him.
True love is giving the choice to choose. The love that Jesus offers isn’t forced…its chosen. He desires that we choose Him but he doesn’t demand it.
My response to the gospel reminds me of the song ‘Ain’t No Grave’ by Johnny Cash recently covered by Bethel…Jesus if you walked out of the grave I’m walking too. I don’t want to live in the tomb, I want to and I will live in freedom with YOU Jesus!
