It says in Exodus 32 verse 31 and Moses returned unto the Lord and said oh this people have
sinned a great sin and have made them gods of gold yet now if thou wilt forgive their
sin dot dot dot this is kind of like he leaves that hanging if you'll forgive their
sin and if not blot me I pray thee out of thy book which thou has written so he's
saying look if you're not going to forgive them then you know what just
punish me take it out on me and then the Lord said unto Moses whosoever has
sinned against me him will I blot out of my book so he doesn't take up
Moses on that offer of Moses offering to bear the sins of the people
and be blotted out of the book and so forth but he had that heart he made
that offer and you know what that shows how much he loved people he loved the loss
the Apostle Paul said something similar in Romans when he said I could wish that myself
were accursed from Christ for my brethren's sake for the children of Israel if they would
be saved he said in Romans chapter 9 and so that should show us a heart that we should have
lost now look most of us would not be willing to go that far I know I wouldn't be willing to
go that far I'm not I wouldn't be asking God hey blot me out of that book or you know I'll
suffer it all for but you know what I am willing to go out and knock some doors
and tell people about Christ you know I am willing to go out and preach the gospel I am
willing to take a trip to an Indian reservation or to a mission field or across the street to
go knock someone's door and tell them about Jesus you know we don't have to die on the
cross we don't have to be blotted out of the book we don't have to be buried for three
days and three nights hey all we have to do is just open our mouth boldly to make
known the mystery of the gospel and it's not too much to ask and if we love the loss
we'd be willing to make some sacrifice in our life Moses is willing to make the
ultimate sacrifice the Apostle Paul is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice what
sacrifices what small sacrifices are you and I willing to make to get the gospel to the lost
people that are gonna die and go to hell and be punished for all eternity do we even care do
we love them if we do we're gonna be willing to make some sacrifices we're gonna be willing
to pay the price to get them the gospel Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice Moses and Paul
talked about making it but you know what we're not even being asked to make that all we're
being asked to do is to be an ambassador for Christ and we ought to be willing to say here
am I send me
