If I were to ask you to make a list of all of the ways that God blesses us, what would be on your list? I have been blessed with many material possessions but I realize that they are not of great importance. Jesus said in Luke 12:15 that "a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." Heaven is not reserved for those who were physically wealthy but for those who had their wealth in Jesus.
I love World Bible School because it allows me to share with others what can never be taken away. Recently a great storm went through a town where I used to live. Millions of dollars in damage was done to houses & buildings and tragically 4 people lost their lives. What is far more tragic is when people die without Jesus. You see, in WBS we are able to share with precious souls the saving message of Jesus Christ. When we look at death, many look at it as an enemy but not the Christian. Listen to the apostle Paul in I Corinthians 15:55-57: Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." When the Christian leaves this life they go to a far better place. In Philippians 1 Paul stated that he would prefer to die and go to be with Christ which is far better than living on the earth.
I love World Bible School because it brings me in contact with very special people. Over the past 20 years I have had the privileged of teaching the good news of Jesus with multiplied hundreds of World Bible School students. Just recently I taught a young man who had been a 'spiritual herbalist'. People would come to him and pay him money to pray to demons when they were ill or had a problem. He had idols in his house that he would pray to but when he heard the good news of Jesus, he left that life and gave his heart and soul to Jesus. He destroyed all of his idols so that he could completely serve his Savior, Jesus Christ.
I love World Bible School because it allows me to work with God! That's right, the Bible teaches that I am a co-worker with the Lord Himself! We read in I Corinthians 3:9 that "we are God's fellow workers". Every time we share the Word of God with someone, we are involving ourselves in the Work of God. The picture that Paul paints in the scripture above is that we work with God in the task of reaching the world with the saving message of Jesus Christ.
I love World Bible School because I come in contact with people that I will never see in this life but that I will spend eternity with. Heaven will be exciting for many reasons but I want to share one with you. Picture this scene in Heaven: someone rushes up to you and throws their arms around you and says, 'thank you, thank you, thank you'. You have never seen this individual so you ask them why they are thanking you. It is at this moment that they inform you that they came to Jesus because you taught them the gospel through WBS. It is difficult to understand the joy that will be ours when we meet those that we taught.
I love World Bible School because it allows me to be like my Savior. Jesus said in Luke 19:10 that "the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost." Oh, don't misunderstand me; I am not under the illusion that I have any power to save anyone but when I speak the saving Word of God to a lost person and they become a Christian, I had a part in their salvation. Through WBS I am able to share the most precious message that has ever been spoken.
Yes, the Lord has richly blessed me in so many ways but one of the greatest blessings that I have ever received was when I became a World Bible School teacher. The good news is that you can have these same blessings. Contact WBS and we will help you begin to receive these same blessings in your life.
