Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. (From verse 29)
How much do I believe that Jesus takes away the sin of the world? Seriously, how much?
If we believe, it will come out in our actions. It is inevitable. Yet I care so little for the lost, especially those in far off countries. I pray only a little for them. I give little to those who are reaching out to them. And my own preparations to move out to the mission field move slowly, at least in part because of a lack of fiery effort on my own part.
There are so many things waiting to distract us. But if we truly believe what God has said then we will not become distracted. We will reach for the goal with all our efforts, with all our hearts, as part of our service to the Lamb who saved us from sin.
I want to give my life to Him, to making His name known, to making His name great. There is no cause greater, no one greater.
So the question is – how much do I believe? Enough to act? I pray so.
