Reflection 11

I will just focus on the life of John Wesley for this reflection. He was one of the revivalist in the Church History. I really appreciate because of their work in spreading the Christianity to the masses, not only those who members of the Church. Not only John Wesley had this work, but also some who are other preachers who touch the lives of the people.

            I was really blessed by one of his quote that he learned from Spener: “the tongue and mind are to be offered in prayer and meditation on the Scriptural text. If this is done, the Holy Spirit will illumine the mind of each committed believer.” Indeed it is the Holy Spirit’s work to touch the hearts of the people for them to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. But there are lots of Christians who easily got discouraged when a person ignores the message of salvation. I can understand them because I’ve been also that.

            I would explain to my disciples that we should continue to do our work but it is the Holy Spirit’s work for them to accept Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. It is not our job. Our job is only to tell the message of salvation. We should never get discourage when people ignore the message of salvation.
