DAILY DEVOTIONAL – NOVEMBER 24, 2020 Freedom in the Light of Christ By David Wilkerson (1931-2011) The promises of the Lord are always “yes and amen.”  His promises never change — and that includes his promise about saving the lost.  When God commanded us to go into all the world to win souls, he didn’t include an exemption clause:  “Preach the gospel of my Son Jesus Christ to all nations — except in hard times.”  And he didn’t say, “Believe for the salvation of many — except when there is a great shaking in the world.” Thank God, he has never said the world is too wicked, too hardhearted, too given over to lust to be reached by his Good News.  At no time in history did the Lord ever limit his tender mercies — and he never will.  Right now, America and the rest of the world could still be spared judgment if there is true repentance.  Of course, such repentance would require a great humbling and a mass return to the Lord.  But our God has never rescinded his amazing offer of mercy. Jesus declared that he came to seek and to save the lost.  He who had power to subdue the winds and waves, who could send fire down from heaven to destroy the wicked, who embodied righteousness — this same Jesus came as a humble servant.  He set captives free just as he claimed he would and he faithfully broke every form of bondage he encountered. The gospels speak of Christ as kind, patient, longsuffering, forgiving, full of tenderness and mercy, willing that no one should perish.  He was called a shepherd, a teacher, a brother, a light in darkness, a physician, an advocate, a reconciler.  He went about doing only good and no one ever had cause to hate him.  So why the deep, vicious hatred toward Christ? Jesus was hated by the world because he came as a light to deliver the world from darkness.  “The light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed” (John 3:19-20). Jesus declared of himself,  “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life” (8:12).  Walk in his light and life today!  Read OnlineDownload PDFForward to a Friend
