Each One Reach One

Reflections from the Heart of Allan Redenius
Recently, I watched a movie.  One of the memorable lines that has stuck with me is what a mother said of her overly ambitious daughter, “I’m waiting for her to save the world.”
 
That then, begs the question, “What have I done to save the world?”  I try to be a good person to all I meet.  I try to be a good father and husband.  I preach and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  But even with all that, my scorecard for saving the world comes up a little empty.
 
Maybe if I were a politician, I could make a bigger difference in the world.  But then again, maybe not.  Most of the world doesn’t think like me.  What I have to say, would probably just be rejected.  Truth speakers are often booed off the stage.
 
Jesus came to save the world.  He is the light of the world, but people prefer the darkness.  He came to save the lost, yet it was the lost who killed Him.  So why would I think I could save the world?
 
I’ve come to the realization that I can’t save the world, but I can try.  We’ve all heard of “bloom where you’re planted.”  So that’s what I do.  If you’re in my orbit, I’m here to tell you this one fact, a truth you can rely on.  “Jesus saves!”
 
I may not be able to save the whole world, but I can do what I can do.  The best thing I can do is tell you about the Lord and the peace and salvation that comes through Him.  I need to start with someone, and it might as well be you.  If each one would reach one, the impossible will be possible through God!
 
Trying……
