"We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His power, and the wonders He has done"- Psalm 78:4 (NIV).
We used to play a hide and seek water game in the pool. With one person designated to "search", he/she would shout out the first name and listen; those who needed to be "found" had to respond with the last name, giving the designated searcher an idea of their location. Do you know the name? Marco...Polo! The spoken name was critical to finding the lost. What a wonderful analogy of a Christian's role in seeking the lost. When is the last time "Jesus" came out of your mouth in conversation with another person? For most, "if" it occurred, it occurred in church on Sunday; but, I wonder how many Christians, even our pastors and church secretaries, can count the number of times on one hand...or at all. Oh, the power of Jesus' name. He is the only way, the only truth and the only life. No one can come to the Father except through Jesus (John 14:6). You cannot be obedient to today's Scripture without using the name of Jesus. Continuing with the pool analogy, sharing Jesus with others is like tossing a life preserver to a drowning (aka lost) person. The name of this game is Jesus...Saves. Shout His name!
