"What must I do to be saved?" This was the question that the jailor had for Paul and Silas. He had observed how they responded to an unjust beating and imprisonment and wanted to have what they had! That same day he had almost committed suicide, but instead he found salvation for himself and his entire household.
Today, not many people are asking this critical question. In fact, most people seem to believe that they are already saved. They believe that everyone is fine before God regardless of what they believe. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Paul and Silas were willing to die to declare the message of salvation! Not because everyone is saved, but because everyone needed salvation!
Until we see the urgency of lostness around us, we won't be motivated to share, much less suffer for the message of Christ. God help us to see the need around us and the importance of sharing with others.
