the hope of the world

6/3/2019

​The local church is the hope of the world! I just believe that. The hope of the world is not the political system. The hope of the world is not the judicial system. The hope of the world is not in any certain economic system. The hope of the world is the local church because it is the church that has been given the only message of love, forgiveness, peace and eternal life through faith in a crucified, buried, risen Savior. In Matthew 5, Jesus called His followers the “salt of the earth.” That may not mean much to us today but it did back then. Next to the sun, salt was considered the most important commodity of that day because it was the only source of preservation that they had. Often, Roman soldiers got paid in salt, thus giving us the phrase, “worth one’s weight in salt.” Folks, we as the church are the most important commodity this word has. It’s us or it’s lights out! That’s why I believe that if we are going to invest in anything it needs to be the local church. There is nothing like the local church when the local church is working right. And in my opinion, the local church is working right when evangelism is the engine that drives its purpose.
