*You’ll Never Wish You Did Less* (III)
_Key Bible Text:_
*And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.* (Matthew 9:35-36 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
_Follow the Sent Savior_
Jesus was not unaware. He was not unmoved. And he was certainly not unsent. He died to open eyes, jumpstart hearts, and make ready feet for the world.
Jesus knew there were many unknown peoples who were unknowledgeable of a God worth knowing. He knew two things: humanity was harassed spiritually, emotionally, and physically and helpless to do anything about it. But he knew something they did not. He was a saving shepherd who would lay down his life for them (John 10:10–11). He was unknown to them, but they were known by him.
Scour sites like Joshua Project, tear into books like Operation World, and watch Prayercast videos. You don’t have to stay uninformed. If you knew that 141,000 new unbelievers enter the world’s global cities every day but that 80% of them will never meet a Christian, or that for every unreached people group there are 78,000 evangelical believers that will hardly ever reach or even notice them, how would it affect you? As David Bryant said, “God cannot lead you on the basis of facts you do not know.â€
_MEDITATION:_
*Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.* Matthew 9:37-38 (KJV)

*You’ll Never Wish You Did Less* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray. Later Simon and the others went out to find him. When they found him, they said, "Everyone is looking for you." But Jesus replied, "We must go on to other towns as well, and I will preach to them, too. That is why I came." So he traveled throughout the region of Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and casting out demons.* (Mark 1:35-39 (NLT))
_Bible Insight:_
Unengaged, Unsent, Unreached
That picture showed me a lot about a world I did not know. I had never heard the title “Bibleless peoples†either. I knew people who choose not to read a Bible, but I had never heard of the 210 million who might have a desire to read God’s word, but could not, because one did not exist in their language.
And the “unengaged� I knew of unbelievers, but I had no awareness of the groups in the world who are silently wasting away, waiting to hear about their sin and Savior. Presently, they have no church, agency, or Christian with a plan to get the gospel of Jesus Christ to them.
I had never thought about the “unsent†either. I knew Christ commissioned his people as “sent ones†(John 17:18), but surely he meant something or someone else. I did not know how starved the world is for missionaries and yet how large, and largely unsent, the evangelical church remains. I did not know my future involved only two choices — send or be sent.
But for those believers who do know of these peoples, we must ask a penetrating question, “Is it that you can’t do something, or that you won’t?†Most are unaware, but heaven forbid that the others are unmoved.
_MEDITATION:_
*“210 million people cannot read the Bible because one does not exist in their language.â€*
What do you think about that? 🤔
Are you unmoved? 🥺

*You’ll Never Wish You Did Less*
_Key Bible Text:_
*And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;* (Revelation 5:9 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
The world had never laid eyes on them before. Yet, there they were, in plain sight, for all to see.
As photographers in helicopters took pictures of the previously uncontacted or lost tribes of the Amazon rainforest, the fear, amazement, and uncertainty in their faces was unforgettable. Spears were in hand and fingers were pointed upwards. I stared at the picture and contemplated a people and tribe that had lived in isolation from globalization and technological advancement for much of the last two hundred years.
For the first time in my life, I looked into the eyes of a people that had most likely never heard (or had a chance to hear) of a Savior named Jesus. They were not unbelieving because they had said no to Jesus, but because they had never had an opportunity to do so. I came to understand these peoples were referred to as “unreached.†They were in existence despite my ignorance.
I came to find out this ignorance was shared by the majority of Christians worldwide. *Surprisingly, almost seven out of every ten Christians are unaware of God’s vision for the evangelization of the world, especially among the world’s unreached peoples.*
For almost half of my Christian life, I was one of these seven who was unaware of the approximately 8,000 peoples in existence who have never been evangelized. It was not until a cold day in Minneapolis, during a Perspectives on the World Christian Movement class, that I viewed a picture of one of these 8,000 that spoke a thousand words and confronted me with real faces of faithless peoples in need of forgiveness and freedom.

*NO DRIFTING*
_Key Bible Text:_
*It's crucial that we keep a firm grip on what we've heard so that we don't drift off. If the old message delivered by the angels was valid and nobody got away with anything, do you think we can risk neglecting this latest message, this magnificent salvation? First of all, it was delivered in person by the Master, then accurately passed on to us by those who heard it from him. All the while God was validating it with gifts through the Holy Spirit, all sorts of signs and miracles, as he saw fit.* (Hebrews 2:1-4 (The Message))
_Bible Insight:_
AT the end of one school semester, my wife and I picked up our daughter from her school 100 kilometers (60 miles) away. On our way back home we detoured to a nearby beach resort for snacks. While enjoying our time there, we watched the boats at the seashore. Usually, they are anchored to prevent them from drifting away, but I noticed one boat drifting unhindered, among the others-- slowly and steadily making its way out to sea.
As we drove home, I reflected on the timely caution given to believers in the book of Hebrews: "We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away." (Hebrews 2:1) We have good reason to stay close. The author of Hebrews says that while the Mosaic law was reliable and needed to be obeyed, the message of the Son of God is far superior. Our salvation is "so great" in Jesus that He shouldn't be ignored. (Hebrews 2:3))
Drifting in our relationship with God is hardly noticeable at first; it happens gradually. *_However, spending time talking, with Him in prayer and reading His word, confessing our wrongs to Him and interacting with other followers of Jesus can help us stay anchored in Him._* As we connect with the Lord regularly, He will be faithful to sustain us, and we can avoid drifting away.
_MEDITATION:_
*“WHAT do you know about Jesus that keeps you wanting to be near Him?"*
To avoid drifting away from God, stay anchored to the Rock.

*THE WORK OF THE WATCHERS* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*“I've posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem. Day and night they keep at it, praying, calling out, reminding GOD to remember. They are to give him no peace until he does what he said, until he makes Jerusalem famous as the City of Praise."* (Isaiah 62:6-7 (The Message))
_Bible Insight:_
While you are busy admiring another man's Jerusalem, God is counting on you, to make your Jerusalem a praise in the earth, in other words, strong and famous, doing mighty things and being well spoken of. Are you still with me?
Why are you busy criticizing and condemning when God is expecting you to use the same voice and time to intercede for that same Jerusalem of yours that you are castigating and writing off? God wouldn't be asking you to stand your watch as a watchman if your Jerusalem was perfect!
Your workplace, office, family, church, fellowship, volunteer organization, or nation can be better. But you are busy looking for who to make it better for you when God is counting on you to contribute your quota towards the positive transformation of your Jerusalem?
Don't play the ostrich. Quit the blame game. Fold your sleeves, and set to work. Make your membership become a blessing in your Jerusalem. That other man's Jerusalem you are desiring was made desirable by another person who woke up to his or her work as a watcher over her/his Jerusalem! Wake up to your own work over your Jerusalem as a watchman!
Pray! But remember that the watchers' work does not begin and end in praying. You must also do your part. In Ezekiel 3:17 (KJV), it says *"Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me."* Your duties will include to warn, in the sense of, preaching the gospel of the positive change you desire (which should align with God's will) until you see it come to pass. And remember, when Jesus asked His disciples to pray for Laborers into His harvest, He was speaking to already enlisted labourers. So your praying without working towards that object is hypocrisy in action! Don't do that! Pray but roll up your sleeves and get to work too!
_MEDITATION:_
*“But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?."* (James 2:20 (KJV))
