When Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in His hand. Joshua approached Him and asked, "Are You for us or for our enemies?" "Neither," He replied. "I have now come as commander of The Lord's army."
Joshua 5:13-14
Peter said to them, "You know it is forbidden for a Jewish man to associate with or visit a foreigner. But God has shown me that I MUST NOT call any person common or unclean... but in EVERY NATION the person who fears Him and does righteousness is acceptable to Him.
Acts 10:28, 34-35
This my friends is why we are admonished to not only study and show ourselves approved in knowing this Book of Truth but in knowing The Author even better. Rahab the prostitute was one of The Savior's own, thus the angel's reply of 'Neither', she was one of His. This altar call you and I have responded to is just like the forum we are are a part of in Christ Jesus, both open. This door and forum will not be open forever. If you have been duped into believing otherwise, there would have been no reason for The Messiah to have wept over Jerusalem. This is why we do our best to make the most of every opportunity we have, which He provides for us to share His Life and His Love. You read this today because someone else heard, responded and obeyed His voice in reference to His desire for you to know and understand Him. Accept His offer today and share THE LOVE while His Altar and His Forum still stand open to all.
Jeremiah 9:23-24, Luke 16:19-34
