Are you passionate or indifferent about Jesus?
3/7/2021
While reading the book Earth’s Last Empire, by John Hagee, I found a quote that spoke to me. It is a quote by Elie Wiesel and talks about the opposite of love, beauty, faith, and life. The opposite of these is not what you think according to Mr. Wiesel, it is indifference.
I have heard preachers many times over the years preaching on having passion, being excited about Christ and what He has done for us. I have even made the statement about people losing their passion for Jesus. They are becoming indifferent.
We do not hear about great revivals being held by great Evangelist like Billy Graham and Jimmy Swaggart anymore and it makes me wonder if it is because the Christians are indifferent in their witnessing to the people around them. If we have such apathy that we do not share the truth about God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost then it is understandable that no one would want to go hear someone talk about God, when we do not talk about the wonderful things that he has done for us.
Ask God if you are indifferent to what He is doing in your life. If the answer is yes, then get your passion back. Get the thrill of your salvation again. Start sharing the Gospel with others.
"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of beauty is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, but indifference between life and death." (Interview with U.S. media, 1986)
