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 gonna forgive them
then you know I just punished me take it out on me and then the Lord said unto
Moses whosoever hath 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 lost 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 you know I'll
suffer at 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 lost we'd be willing to
make some sacrifice in our life Moses is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice
the Apostle Paul's 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
