A Watchman is His Brother's Keeper

Am I my brother’s keeper?” Genesis 4:9
I hear people ask, “Is it really my responsibility to tell others about Christ? Isn’t that the pastor’s job or the missionary’s job?” Well the answer is a triple yes. It is each person’s job, the one in the pew, the one in the pulpit, and the one directly sent to do so. We are all our brother’s keeper.
In the book of Ezekiel God appointed the prophet to be a watchman over Israel. Israel was a rebellious house and needed to be warned of God’s impending judgment. All mankind is in rebellion against God and all the world needs a watchman to warn them of God’s judgment. That means that the call to be a watchman falls upon all who desire to hear and obey God. So, yes, we are our brother’s keeper and yes we are to share the Gospel of Christ that all mankind might know how to be saved from their certainly deserved judgment of breaking God’s laws.

Dear Father, Fill us with love for our neighbors and give us watchmen’s’ hearts. Amen.
