All
of those whom the Lord God has saved will come home. They will be singing with
a joy that will last forever, and that can’t be taken away. All the sorrow; the
frustrations and sighing will run away. They will find gladness and joy that
will never end. (Isaiah 51:11)
What has eternal significance? Only one
thing; the transforming power of the Lord, Jesus Christ – only that matters.
You will share a lot of things with your people as you lead them. None of those
things will matter unless the Spirit of God changes them, and they find new
life in Christ.
As God speaks through Isaiah, it is assumed
that all men and women have sorrow. They all have circumstances of fear and
disappointment which make them sigh. Isaiah reports, “Only the saving,
redeeming, reconciling, transforming act of God can take away that sorrow.” It
only can happen when someone returns home to relationship with the Lord.
Share all that the Lord has called you to
share with your people. But, remember the thing that matters is that you share
Him. Be sure to share what matters.
