In this week's message from Durban Memorial Baptist Church, we explore the profound truths of Matthew 10:40-42, focusing on the joyous gift of salvation and our roles in God's grand design. Using the analogy of Jordan Walsh, a rookie basketball player who shared in an NBA championship, we learn that believers, though seemingly minor players, share in Christ's ultimate victory. Ephesians 2:8-9 reminds us that salvation is by grace through faith, not by works, and our names are written in the Book of Life through Christ's sacrifice. The gospel is valid, meant to be shared, and we are sent as Christ's ambassadors to spread His message. Matthew 10:41-42 highlights the rewards of receiving the gospel and the significance of small acts of service, like giving a cup of cold water. These acts, though seemingly insignificant, are remembered by God and carry eternal rewards. Reflect on your role in God's plan, show Christ's love through small acts of service, and cherish the responsibility of sharing the gospel.
