Title: Are you Willing to be a Savior Lifter?
Text:
John 16:33 (HCSB)
33 I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world."
Observation:
In this world we will face trials and temptations; there may seem to be trouble everywhere. However, Jesus told his disciples then, and he tells us today through his word to expect to have trouble in this world. You are not alone; suffering is the common lot of people everywhere.
However, we who belong to Jesus have hope. We have the happy privilege of being able to lift up Jesus to the world as the only hope for a brighter tomorrow. Let us commit to being "Savior Lifters".
John 12:32 (HCSB)
32 As for Me, if I am lifted up from the earth I will draw all [people] to Myself."
Would you be willing to become a "Savior Lifter" by lifting up Jesus to our nation and the world as the only hope of our deliverance?
Prayer:
Father God, Sovereign Lord, I praise and thank you for being a God with a love for all people. Father, since you have the world on your heart, I pray that we as your people will have the world on our hearts. In Jesus name, Amen.

1 Corinthians 1:2-3 (HCSB)
2 To God's church at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus and called as saints, with all those in every place who call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord—⌊both⌋ their Lord and ours.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
