Nothing Restrains Our Lord

Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the LORD will work for us. For nothing restrains the LORD from saving by many or by few.” 1 Samuel 14:6

Jonathan may not use saving in the way that we do in this age, but it is those little quotes from the elder covenant that often grab us by the attention span. "For nothing restrains the LORD from saving by many or by few." Indeed! We may see churches on television with thousands of worshippers or we may watch a social media video where only a few are gathered there, and yet the Lord our God can save a person in either place. A person walking in the world may hear the Word of God witnessed by just a few believers in a small town and seek to know more about this Christ. In another place, a secular person may grow weary of the many times she hears the Word spoken from so many diverse sources that she wonders if there isn't a message trying to get through to her. Indeed we know that such a small number as two or three gathered in our Lord's name will rejoice in His presence among them. Also, we can see no reason for the Lord to withhold Himself from two or three thousand gathered in His name as well. Two or three million would not inconvenience our Lord in the slightest either. For nothing restrains our Lord Jesus from anyone He wants to save!

Have a beautiful day in Christ Jesus!
