Only Forgotten Son

One October afternoon years ago Constance was telling me one of her favorite Bible verses. She said, "God so loved the world that He gave His only forgotten Son." I was just about to correct her when suddenly I was overwhelmed with the thought that Jesus is truly God's forgotten Son.

We live in a world where the truth of the gospel is twisted, turned, added to, taken away from, and picked apart, so that men and women can justify how they live their lives. As a nation we have forgotten Jesus, we have turned away from the Bible, it's law's and the guidelines our founding fathers set up for us to live by.

The old saying, "out of the mouth of babes" really does apply. The Bible clearly states that Jesus is the ONLY way to the Father. It saddens me to think so many people have forgotten Him. I can't imagine how anyone can live from day to day without Jesus.

We should all make a point of daily telling someone about Jesus. While we are planting seeds of faith and hope, we will be reaping a harvest of revival. Benjamin Franklin once said, "He who shall introduce into public affairs the principles of primitive Christianity will revolutionize the world."

I hope one day to hear God say to me, "You changed your world by leading people to Jesus." How terrible it would be to have God ask, "Why did you let them forget My Son?"

With the current death statistics; 2 people every second, 102 each minute, 6098 an hour and 146,357 a day how can sit idly by and let Jesus be forgotten.  

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Jesus in you, the hope of glory. Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.     Colossians 1:27&28

Therefore said He unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth labourers into His harvest.  Luke 10:2

Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.  John 4:35

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ.  2 Corinthians 5:20a

Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.  

Mark 16:15b

And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.  1 John 4:14
