God the Father has called me to preach. It is undeniable. I may not be the best preacher of all time. There are certainly others more equipped than me...more creative than me...more intelligent than me. But I can not deny the fact that God, through His Son Jesus Christ and by the anointing of His Great Spirit, has called me to preach. I must preach the Crucified Christ!
I think of Jesus, my obvious preaching Mentor. We don't think about it a lot, but He CAME to earth TO PREACH (Mark 1:38-39)! In Luke's gospel, chapter 1:43, the incredible lips of Jesus said, "I MUST PREACH the GOOD NEWS of the Kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent." Whewwww!
I love that because that is how I feel about preaching the Gospel of Jesus! I "MUST" do it! God the Father called me to preach the Gospel through Jeremiah chapter 1. Look at what God says to Jeremiah in verse7 and compare it to what our Preaching Brother said in Luke's gospel: "YOU MUST go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you."
Now, compare that with what Master Orator says in John 12:49-50: "For I did not speak of My own accord, but the Father who sent Me commanded Me what to say and how to say it. I know that His command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told Me to say."
The Father has told me...commanded me to preach Jesus Christ and Him Crucified
(1 Cor. 2:2! I MUST! Woe to me if I don't (1 Cor. 9:16) FOR CHRIST AND HIS GOSPEL (MARK 8:35)!
