The Gospel is bearing fruit

Which has come to you. Indeed, in the whole world [that Gospel] is bearing fruit and still is growing [by its own inherent power], even as it has done among yourselves ever since the day you first heard and came to know and understand the grace of God in truth. [You came to know the grace or undeserved favor of God in reality, deeply and clearly and thoroughly, becoming accurately and intimately acquainted with it.] Colossians 1:6 AMP

As we watch and/or read the mainstream news it can be easy to forget that in the whole world the Gospel is bearing fruit and still is growing. Often the news depicts immense tragedy, violence and little hope. However there are people around the world who are allowing themselves to be used as vessels to share the Gospel, the good news of Jesus. And where there aren't people to share, Jesus is visiting people in dreams. God, our creator, wants every one of His children to be reconciled to Him.

And God purposed that through (by the service, the intervention of) Him [the Son] all things should be completely reconciled back to Himself, whether on earth or in heaven, as through Him, [the Father] made peace by means of the blood of His cross.  Colossians 1:20 AMP

We know Jesus. We know what it is to be in right standing with God, and come to His throne room, sit in His presence and soak in His love. 

And although you at one time were estranged and alienated from Him and were of hostile attitude of mind in your wicked activities, yet now has [Christ, the Messiah] reconciled [you to God] in the body of His flesh through death, in order to present you holy and faultless and irreproachable in His [the Father's] presence. Colossians 1:21-22 AMP

But there are many who don't know God's love and truth for their lives.  There are many who don't know that Jesus died for them.

Question for today, do you know someone who doesn't know and understand that Jesus died for them? Let's pray for the Holy Spirit to speak to them today, maybe through us, through someone else or directly. Because God loves them and wants to be them to be reconciled with Him.

For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. John 3:16 AMP
