Truth To Wonder: conversation for christ

The weekend after the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk, saw a sharp increase in church attendance in many locations across the globe. The Devil has always attempted to silence the hope of the Gospel by eliminating those who proclaim it boldly. Yet as in all age’s past, when a soldier of Christ lays down his life for His Lord and His Word, it never fails to stir up many. 

Since the days of the Early Church, the earnestness, conviction, assurance, consistency and depth of love shown by Christ’s faithful servants, even in the face of death, declares the uniqueness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This faithful walk with God through the valley of the shadow of death, proclaims to a world looking for hope, that hope is found within Christ Jesus. It declares that even the most fearful of all enemies that is death, holds no sting for the believer in Christ.

This is the honouring of those who have given their life for Christ Jesus and the Gospel. Their deaths are precious in the sight of the Lord, and their loss is never in vain. 

As follow servants of Christ Jesus, we are to be earnest of heart and pure of faith, to ensure that this surge in interest in the Gospel is not frittered away. We who remain are to water the seeds that people such as Charlie Kirk plant in faith. We are to continue the same work of bringing truth and life to the lost, through the preaching and indeed living of the Gospel. Let this be done with passion, joy, thankfulness and hope. So that our hope in Christ shines as a light in a very dark world. Amen.
