Do We Need Another Story

In this powerful message, we're challenged to reflect on our true purpose as followers of Christ. The parable of the ten minas from Luke 19 serves as a stark reminder of our calling to 'occupy' until Christ's return. This isn't about passive waiting, but active engagement in expanding God's kingdom. The story of Zacchaeus beautifully illustrates Jesus' mission to seek and save the lost, regardless of their social standing or past. As we contemplate this, we're urged to examine our own hearts. Are we, like the religious leaders of Jesus' time, quick to judge and exclude? Or are we embracing Christ's radical love that reaches out to everyone, even those society deems unworthy? This message compels us to break free from worldly divisions and realign our focus on eternal matters. It's a call to unity under the banner of Christ, transcending political affiliations and cultural differences. Let's ask ourselves: Are we truly occupying, using what God has given us to further His kingdom? Our challenge is to love as Christ loved, seeing the value in every soul, and working tirelessly to bring the lost into God's family.
