Bringing Others to Jesus

Matthew 21:14 - "And the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them."

We are deceived if we believe that people will come to the Lord by their own power. Jesus gave us explicit instructions to go into the whole world and preach the Gospel (Matthew 28:19). Making disciples is often messy work. Often, we must go out of our way to bring those infirmed – both spiritually and physically – to the Lord so He can heal them in body, soul, and spirit.

In order for us to bring them into "the temple," we must be equipped to do so. Have we a relationship with the Lord where we can lead others to a place of peace and rest in Christ? Have we surrendered ourselves to Jesus so we can boldly come before Him for others? There are many blind that need our guidance and many lame that might need us to carry them to the Lord. May we all have the wisdom to do so when called upon by the Holy Spirit.
