Topic: Good News For Strangers
Bible Reading: Ephesians 2:11-13 (KJV)
11Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
13But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
KEY VERSE: “That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world.” Ephesians 2:12
Messsage
Being a stranger to Christ is the greatest tragedy a person can experience. It is not just physical separation but a spiritual condition where a person is disconnected from the life, love, and promises of God. Many children today feel lost, hopeless, and empty because they are spiritually separated from Jesus. To be a stranger to Christ means living outside of His grace, presence, and salvation. Many children hear the word of God but refuse to accept Jesus. The consequence of this is that there is no hope of eternal life.
The good news is that Jesus Christ came into the world to seek strangers who are lost in sin and trespasses. You cannot afford to remain a stranger. You only need to acknowledge your need for Christ, repent of all sins, accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour, stay connected by reading your Bible and praying every day.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Lord Jesus, I do not want to remain a stranger to You, forgive my sins, and help me to daily walk closely with You. Amen

James 4:7-8
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
