DON'T COME DOWN
When we OA we can sometimes feel like stepping down and just end our message half-way through. We can sometimes feel like this because we can see that not many people are listening, people are walking by and not stopping, others pointing fingers and overall some people just not interested.
We can however be reminded of what happened on the cross of Calvalry 2000 years ago. The Lord Jesus Christ was on the cross and He was reviled, people mocked Him, blasphemed His name etc.
(Matthew 27:39-44, Mark 15:29-32, Luke 23:35-37)
Jesus could of quite easily of come down. Imagine if He did. We would have no hope of eternal life at all. Jesus stayed on the cross and completed His work. His message was finished.
All OA preachers can find encouragement in Jesus' example of not coming down.
