​Excited For Jesus | Intimacy With Christ | Richard Wafford

Matthew 5:14–16, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
 
It is appalling what you see in the news. Just when you think you’ve seen the worst of mankind, they commit such wickedness against the innocent, and it sickens you. Then you cry out to the Lord, even so, come, Lord Jesus.
 
You need to get excited about your salvation because your redemption to eternal life is closer than you realize. An excited person cannot contain the good news; they must share it with others and be a light that glorifies God. Like the woman at the well, she was so excited about meeting the Messiah that she left her water pots, ran into the city, and proclaimed, “Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?’ Then they went out of the city and came to Him (John 4:29–30). Because of her excitement, the whole city came out to meet Jesus and believed in Him. It’s your excitement in sharing the good news that will get people’s attention. ~ Richard
