Tears then Joy

Episode 338

Angus Buchan

Psalm 126
"When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion,
We were like those who dream.
Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
The Lord has done great things for us,
And we are glad.
Bring back our captivity, O Lord,
As the streams in the South.
Those who sow in tears
Shall reap in joy.
He who continually goes forth weeping,
Bearing seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
Bringing his sheaves with him."

The way home

Isaiah 42:6–7, Isaiah 49:6, Acts 13:47

People are lost, they don't know what to do or where to go. You and I have a responsibility to tell the world that Jesus is the only way. Isaiah 42:6-7. People everywhere on this earth are sitting in spiritual darkness and prison. Isaiah 49:6. Acts 13:47. God has given us an order, to show people the way home. Jesus is the Light of the world. 

All nations

Acts 8:7, Isaiah 53, John 1:1, 1 John 5:7, Zephaniah 3:10

John 1:1. 1 John 5:7. Jesus Christ is the Word of God. Zephaniah 3:10. Acts 8:27. Uncle Angus talks about the Ethiopian eunuch who had travelled to Israel to worship the Lord, and Phillip who told him about Jesus Christ. Isaiah 53. God has put eternity into the hearts of all men. God is calling all mankind to salvation.

Personal testimony

Hebrews 13:8, Colossians 1:27, Acts 6:10, Acts 10:15

Hebrews 13:8. There is nothing more powerful than a personal testimony. Acts 6:10, 15. Steven became the first martyr as he testified about the power of God. People are not interested in what we have to say, they are interested in what He, Jesus Christ, the Word of God has to say. Colossians 1:27. When they looked at Stephen they they thought that they were looking at an angel, because they could see Christ in him. When Jesus speaks, we need to listen up.
