THE FEW=TO THE MANY
Did you ever NOTICE=how God
Just USES one person=or a FEW
Before moving on to the MANY?
From the ONE=OR FEW=TO THE MANY
God used Jesus=and a couple of HANDFULS of apostles
And God used Abraham and Sarah=Noah=Jacob=and
Moses and Joshua=and he USES a small nation
Of Israelites=to touch and WORK for the world
Our Lord=Our Holy Father God=
Wants to USE you and me too
INDIVIDUALS=one on one
Just like he did Moses and Jesus=He wants
The world to HEAR=our personal stories
OF FAITH
“The Lord would speak
To Moses=FACE-TO FACE=as one
Speaks to a FRIEND”
Exodus 33:11
“Since then=no prophet=has arisen
In Israel=like Moses=when the Lord=KNEW
FACE TO FACE”
Deuteronomy 34:10
I think=the REASON
The Lord does this=
CHOOSES ONE=or works
Through a few is=that the Lord WANTS
A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP=with each one of us
He wants us=to think of him
AS OUR FRIEND=he wants us to
BUILD a relationship with him=on TRUST
And to love him
FROM THE FEW=TO THE MANY!
“A FRIEND=loves at all times=
And a brother=is born=for
A time of adversity”
Proverbs 17:17
And Jesus tells his apostles=as
He tells us today=that we
ARE HIS FRIENDS
“Instead=I have
CALLED YOU FRIENDS=for everything
That I have learned=from My FATHER=I
Have made known to you”
John 15:15
And in Matthew=Jesus REITERATES
How he works from
THE FEW=TO THE MANY
“For where=TWO OR THREE=
Are gathered in my name=there I am
IN the midst of them”
Matthew 18:20
And so WHOEVER you are=whatever
Is going on=in your life=UNDERSTAND this
It is not always=about the numbers
It is about=having
A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP=with Jesus
And God our Holy Father=and
A CHANGED HEART
It is then=that you
CAN take GOD’S PERSONAL MESSAGE=to you
To others=and the world
FROM THE FEW=TO THE MANY!
In God and in Jesus
Today=Jesus=CALLS YOU FRIEND!
In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our FOREVER FRIEND AND
TEACHER=our Holy Father God!
