God Loves you Personally and Individually
“For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost. “What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray? If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.” (Matthew 18:11-14 WEB)
Some people may ask, “Why hasn’t Jesus returned yet? There are already so many Christians to keep God company in Heaven. Why can’t He just come back now?”
Well, Abba God can ask Jesus to return for us anytime, but He is not doing it yet because “Martha” is not yet saved. “Samantha” is not yet saved. “John” is not yet saved. They just need a bit more time and more opportunities to hear the Gospel at the right time in their lives.
If Jesus returns now and the Tribulation begins, God knows these people will be lost because it will be too tough and they will receive the Mark of the Beast.
The names I mentioned are just hypothetical. God has a personal love for each of us. He has a calling designed for each individual. He is not just about getting a large harvest of souls for His kingdom. God does not want any of His beloved ones to perish and go to Hell.
In the parable above, we see God’s heart for us. Even though He already has ninety nine sheep, He is not satisfied when there is one sheep that is lost. He actively seeks out the lost one and rejoices when He saves it.
There is always going to be one more lost sheep that needs saving. Therefore, Abba God keeps delaying Jesus’ return because He wants to save those He loves, whom He foreknows will place their faith in His Son with enough ‘wooing’.
“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day.” (John 6:44 WEB)
Eventually, there is going to be an appointed time for Jesus’ return and for the Tribulation to begin. We are seeing many signs of the end times, where the infrastructure of the Antichrist regime can be easily implemented.
One strain of virus could cripple the world and cause people to accept drastic measures out of fear—invasive ways to monitor and track people using the virus as a justification. Imagine how easy it would be for the Antichrist regime to begin once all Christians on earth are taken to be with the Lord in Heaven?
In this time of darkness, we need God’s glorious light to shine out from us as brightly as possible. We need the power of God to confirm the Gospel of Jesus Christ that we preach. Time is short, so ask the Lord to fill you with more wisdom, power, provision to take the Gospel further and faster!
