“SORROW FOR SOULS ROOTED IN CHRIST”
Christ is the complete fulfilment of all the Law of God given to the Jews and all His Covenants made to them as well. He is the total fulfillment of both. Paul points this out in Romans 9. The covenants of God to Israel and the Law of God given to Israel rests solely on Christ. Their continuance in believing in their works of the flesh results in separation.
Christ did not bend or sway one iota on God’s Law and He will not bend or sway any on God’s covenants either. Christ is Lord over all! We do not make Him Lord over us, salvation, or anything else. He is the majority of one; He is God!
If we are going to have a zeal and sorrow for the souls of men, it must begin with Christ! This is the entire reason God sent Christ into the world; He was sent to seek and save that which is lost (Luke 19:10.) Do you have a genuine care for the lostness of your fellow man? If not, go to the Savior, He has a great compassion for the souls of man, so much so, He laid His life down, even while we were yet sinners (Romans 5:8.) A deeply rooted desire for souls will drive us beyond anything we can think or imagine reaching them. May this be our prayer today!
Romans 9:5—” 5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.”
