Matthew 28:19-20 (ESV)
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with
you always, to the end of the age.
At a time when thousands of people were dying each year
of rabies, Louis Pasteur, pioneer of immunology, was working on a vaccine. Just
as he was about to begin experimenting on himself, a 9-year-old boy, Joseph
Meister, was bitten by a rabid dog. The boy's mother begged Pasteur to
experiment on her son. Pasteur injected Joseph for ten days-- and he lived.
Decades later, of all the things Pasteur could have had etched on his
headstone, he asked for three words: JOSEPH MEISTER LIVED.
We are called to save lives too. Our greatest legacy will
be those who live eternally because of our efforts.
Thousands of people are dying each year, so many who
don't know the love and truth of their Messiah. Let's make ourselves available
to be used by the Lord for His Kingdom for Christ's sake!
Dear Lord, help us to work toward saving lives by turning
them toward You. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
