As so often happens
when you have been studying the Bible as long as I have, I ran across a verse
that said something that I had never noticed before.
Matthew 15:13-14(NKJV)
13But He answered and said, “Every plant which My
heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted.
14Let them alone. They are
blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall
into a ditch.”
We've often heard
that Jesus would like nothing better than to see everyone saved and I'm sure
that's true. And it seemed to me that
there was a sense that we had to do "absolutely everything we could
possibly do" to see that all were saved.
This Scripture seems
to me to be saying something a bit different.
It's saying make a reasonable case to those that you are trying to save
and then if they reject Jesus, move one.
Leave them alone. Don't badger
them. Continue to pray for them if you
want but leave them alone and move on.
God has already told us that not all will be saved. To expect that all will seems to me to go
against God's plan to me.
