Is It Worth It?

WORTH THE SEARCH?  
   
Whenever Brenda and I vacation at Myrtle Beach, I invariably see people scanning the sand with metal detectors. They methodically walk back and forth, moving their sensitive coils inches above ground. Asking one man if he had ever found anything of value, he replied, "Oh yes. Over the years I’ve found gold rings and jewelry, old coins, watches, and more pocket change than I can count." And then he added, “Sometimes I don’t find anything, but when I locate something of value, it’s worth the search.” 
  
********************************************************************************************** 
  
When Jesus instructed His followers to go into the world and preach the gospel (Mark 16:15), did He not have something similar in mind? Although the majority of people in the world may have little or no interest in salvation, the few that are interested are "worth the search". 
  
As Christians, we frequently focus on the need to read our Bibles, pray, attend worship services, serve others and remain faithful to Jesus. However, we must remember fact that pleasing our Savior involves helping others to get to heaven. To comply with the Great Commission, we need to look for opportunities to “seek and save that which is lost” (Luke 19:10). 
  
Talking to others about Jesus Christ is not always easy, and many will either ignore or reject the message. But if only one in ten thousand souls hears and heeds the call of Christ, it is definitely "worth the search". 
  
May God help us to seek out lost souls that need Jesus.  
  
"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise" (Prov. 11:30).
  
Jesus, always Jesus!
