The sick and imprisoned would have a steady stream of visitors. The financial shortfall that we are having at moment would never appear again. A pastor of a large Baptist church in Moscow said he had 5,600 members. They had about 400 who were not ready to take the identity of Christian, he said, but they did attend. And then he used a very interesting phrase.
Every church has four-wheel members.
But we do not have a four-wheel Lord. He totally surrendered himself even though he would suffer inconceivable pain and humiliation. And he did it to communicate His love to us. In mainline churches we rarely talk about the blood of Christ. We sing about the blood in some of our hymns, but we are bit squeamish about dealing with the blood of Christ in a sermon.
