For God So Loves…China: An Olympic-based devo!
April 9th, 2008 — peggiesplaceOne of the first Bible verses a Christian child learns is John 3:16–it’s called the “Gospel in a Nutshell” - and it’s about to crack WIDE OPEN in the heathen land of CHINA, as GOD breaks through with His Word! (See “China Sets Out to Make an Impression on the World before 2008 Olympics in Beijing”). While it may bring protest from around the globe, to the Christian heart, it’s bringing “GOOD NEWS!” Why?
Because the GOOD NEWS of the Gospel of Jesus Christ now has a wide, open door, through the Olympics, into the land of China. Think about it! Millions of internationals will fill the city of Beijing–and you KNOW there is sure to be a strong Christian witness, as there’s been in previous Olympics worldwide. THE GOSPEL IS GOING TO CHINA…praise the Lord!
And WHY China? Because God loves His world so much that He would not have one person ANYWHERE perish that is seeking Him. Millions upon millions in that heathen nation need the Lord. It’s not just about the Olympics–it’s about God’s LOVE!
And…if GOD loves millions of persons who’ve never heard–some who’ve rejected the Gospel and some who have strongly persecuted the bearers of the Gospel, how much does He love YOU today - WHEREVER on Planet Earth you live–and WHATEVER your need….Reach out to Him, for the God who loves CHINA…LOVES YOU!! Now believe it and have a wonderful day!
“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, KJV).”
“Lord, You love your world and YOU are in control. You love the Chinese people as much as You love us–and that’s A LOT! Give us a burden to pray that Your love will break through the Bamboo Curtain and fill that dark land with Your Light - use believers to bring the Word to Beijing and may it spread through the land. And Lord, overwhelm each of us with Your love personally–for You not only love the millions…You love ME, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
