Delivering the Message

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”

John 14:1–3


Christians are the mail carriers of God’s message.

Have you ever sent someone a letter or an email but they never got it? One of the most frustrating things in life is when an important message doesn’t reach its destination. From the time of the Pony Express back in the Old West or the modern age of email, text messages, and voicemail, human beings have been looking for a more reliable way to communicate with each other.

God is looking for reliable Christians to deliver His message. But God’s message is more important than any email we could send. His message provides life to a dying world. It provides hope to those who are lost, and it provides love to those who are hurting. God’s message is the message of salvation through His Son.

Romans 8:29 shows us this, “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” Each day that we yield our lives to Him and follow His will, we are choosing to become more like Him. One of the foundational reasons for becoming like Christ is that we may share the message of Christ without reservation to a lost and dying world.

Second Timothy 1:9 says, “Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.” God has given us a holy calling. He called us by His grace and for His purpose.

One of the great things about being a Christian is that we know there is a purpose in life. While most people wonder about the meaning of life and seek to “find themselves,” we know that God has a plan for our existence on earth. His plan for every Christian is that we would tell others the good news of His salvation.

The message of Christ is vitally needed in our world today. God is calling people who have conformed to His image and who are living for Him to take His message and deliver it to the world around them.

Can God use you to deliver His message to this world? So many times we complain about the mail system or about technology not being dependable, but are you being dependable to deliver God’s message? Determine today to be the best “mail carrier” God has in delivering His message of salvation to those around you.
