September 7

Running with Jesus

Acts 8:5 "Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them."

     A Jew going to Samaria to preach? That is where those half-breeds live! Half Jew and half Gentiles. Jews would walk miles around Samaria to avoid those unclean people. Philip would go and preach and the message of Christ was received and word was sent back salvation had come to Samaria too!

      In the midst of persecution was exciting days because prophesy was being fulfilled and salvation had come to all people.  Jesus is the Savior of the world. He came that whosoever believeth in Him shall have eternal life. He came to seek and save the lost. All men are born in sin and on the way to hell and eternal separation from God.  There is a way of escape and that is Jesus. No man's soul is a half-breed all are of worth to Him. There is none untouchable by God. He loves us all and wants to bring salvation to our soul.   

      So if you feel like an outcast Samaritan today cry out to Jesus and receive His love and forgiveness. He is the Savior of the world!

Father, lift some soul today who feels low and outcast.  Let them feel Your love and acceptance. Help us show Your love to the world. Help us treat all men with love and respect. Help us carry the gospel like Philip. 

We can't buy salvation, in the morning so hurry back!
