Day 4

"Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body and spirit. And let us work toward complete purity because we fear God." 2 Corinthians 7:1

Here I am in Las Vegas and all I have been thinking for two days now is, "What would Jesus do if He were here in flesh?"

Would He turn over tables, what would He do?

As I walk through our hotel, hundreds of people surround me. And I become overwhelmed with saddness. If you have ever been to the Bellagio, you know that the Casino is right in the middle of it, So in order to get to your room, you have to walk right through the Casino.

This evening as we were walking back to our room from our Banquet I couldn't help but to be overwhelmed with the thought that though I know Jesus is Lord of my life and lover of my soul, no one else walking by me knows that.

Is there a way that just by appearance alone people could see Jesus in me? Oh, how I hope His light in me is brighter than the lights in this city.

As I see so many people engrossed in their gambling and alcohol I get a sick sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. What if Jesus came right now? How many of these people know Jesus? How many of these people will be in heaven? How many of these people will be in hell?

Do they care?

Could this place be similar to Sodom and Gomorrah?

It's nickname is Sin City. I see why, I hear why!

It's overwhelming to me. This place, this type of atmosphere.

Jesus if I exist for no other reason, may I exist to please You, share You and reflect You in such a way someone will come to know You in a personal way. Amen
