“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved.”(Romans 10:1)
Paul referred to himself as the chief of sinners. But, he came to know Christ Jesus as his Savior. His life had been radically changed. Those things he had counted as gain, he now counted as loss for Christ. We that have read his epistles and the references to him in the Acts of the Apostles call the apostle Paul perhaps the greatest Christian that ever lived.
Paul set the example for having a passion for lost souls. He expressed this passion as being his heart’s desire.
What is our heart’s desire for other people? Is it that they will treat us more kindly? Is it that they will have the same political views that we have? Is our heart’s desire for others anywhere near Paul’s heart’s desire for the salvation of his kindred?
Let us take seriously the Great Commission Christ gave to us to share with others the Good News of salvation.
