“As they were striking the people and I alone was left, I fell on my face and cried out saying, ‘Alas, Lord GOD! Are You destroying the whole remnant of Israel By pouring out Your wrath on Jerusalem?’” Ezekiel 9:8
Scripture records other incidents about great men of faith crying out to GOD on behalf of the wicked. When I read one, it reminds me of the purpose of our walk here: to warn the lost sinner of his dilemma. Ezekiel “fell on his face and cried out”. He was passionately concerned about his people. So must we be!
A young man told me once, “If you really believe in hell, that unbelievers are going there, then basically everyone you pass on the street is going to hell. Shouldn’t every Christian be out there telling the world?” Convicting?
We as Christians should begin each day on our face to God and cry out for the lost, cry out about our own sin of silence and cry out as to how God will use us to tell the world that Jesus saves!!
“We have heard the joyful sound…Jesus Saves! Spread the tidings all around…Jesus Saves! Bear the news to every land, climb the steeps and cross the waves; onward! ‘Tis our Lord’s command; Jesus Saves!!!” (Priscilla Owens/William Kirkpatrick)
