Text: Esther 4:6-16
Romans 6:23 [NIV]--For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 5:6-8 [NIV]--You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
FOUR QUESTIONS I MUST ASK MYSELF:
1. Is saving souls worth the cost?
Jesus/Esther = Save souls regardless of the cost.
2. How much is a soul worth?
Jesus/Esther = You cannot put a price tag on a human soul. A soul is priceless
3. How much am I willing to sacrifice to rescue another person?
Jesus/Esther = Jesus asks us to risk everything.
4. Is rescuing souls a duty I must perform or a life mission I am passionate to complete?
Jesus/Esther = Let us keep the main thing the main thing. We must remember why we are here.
