“For many are called, but few are chosen.” (Matthew 22:14)Потому что приглашенных много, но избранных мало. (От Матфея 22:14 Russian SZ)
LORD God, Our Dear Heavenly Father ~ Thank you for this day and the numerous reminders that we are under your constant surveillance as we bask in the provisions necessary for us to live comfortably. Help all Christians as we work to spread the Good News of salvation and eternal hope. Give seekers the courage to sincerely and wholeheartedly answer the Savior’s invitation without delay with faith, repentance and baptism and enjoy the radiant new life in Christ. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
On Tuesday we once again enjoyed many activities that allowed us to share God's love with different people. At the University, we had two back to back sessions that took up much of our afternoon. It was all time well spent as we challenged the group of 4th year students to consider the parable of the Wedding Feast in Matthew 22. Several of them attempted to give a meaning to the parable. This was another opportunity to explain the worldwide invitation of Jesus Christ that is extended to all people. Several students took copies of the New Testaments that we bring, and a couple of informative tracts were taken. Since it was our last time to be with these dear young people this year, we brought some small gifts for the students and their two main faculty leaders. In the evening, we had our faithful few to show up for Bible study and as usual the participation was excellent. Prior to their arrival, we were downstairs in our meeting hall talking to some of the staff, and one elderly man that we have become friends with wanted to present us a copy of a book that he authored about 20 years ago. He is almost 90 years of age and still has a very sharp mind. He had a long career as a writer and producer of plays. We presented him with a new Russian language Bible and he was very thankful. He admires American literature and had many positive things to say about the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. Thank you for your faithfulness in prayer for this evangelistic work.
