As I compose this message, there is a growing conviction in my heart—the body of Christ needs a fresh reintroduction to Jesus as Messiah! In the church at large in recent years, there has been a good deal of necessary teaching about the Holy Spirit’s gifts and empowering activity. There has also been a resurgence of amazing revelation of God as a good, good Father. My own life has greatly benefited from both of these revelations and teaching emphases.
But recently, my heart has been turned anew towards the man Christ Jesus—salvation, a burden for souls and the “great harvest.” Many charismatic churches do not even offer an invitation to meet Jesus anymore. Altar calls are given to get healed, be filled with the Spirit or receive a prophetic word. But if we are going to have another “Jesus Movement” and harvest of souls, it is vital that we talk about the centrality of Jesus, the completed work of the cross and the reality of eternity.
