Pleading The Lords Cause
February 3, 2012
Charles Finney, a 29-year-old lawyer, was concerned about his souls salvation. On October 10, 1821, he retreated to a wooded area near his home for a time of prayer. While there, he had a profound conversion experience. He wrote: The Holy Spirit . . . seemed to go through me, body and soul. . . . Indeed it seemed to come in waves of liquid love.
The next day, he met with a client who had come to him for legal representation. Finney told him: I have a retainer from the Lord Jesus Christ to plead His cause and cannot plead yours. He left his law practice and entered the ministry. Later, he would be used mightily of God to bring others to Christ.
The apostle Paul was also called to plead the Lords cause. He wrote, I am appointed for the defense of the gospel (Phil. 1:17). The word translated defense was used in the ancient world for an attorney pleading his case in a court of law. All believers are called to share the wonderful news of the saving grace of God. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christs behalf, be reconciled to God (2 Cor. 5:20).
What a great privilege to be used of God to bring others to Christ!
Do we really care for those
Who live beneath Gods wrath?
The gospel must be shared with them,
To turn them from deaths path. Sper
