I do not believe it is possible to be like Jesus, and to not have a burning passion for the lost.
Without question, our salvation is the very purpose of Creation and defines the activity of the Father, His Son, and the Holy Spirit pressing to re-create us into His likeness.
Jesus said, “I will build my church” (Matthew 16:18). It is not just getting ready to be a glorious church without spot or wrinkle, the true church IS glorious. It is the body of Christ.
Jesus said, “I–If I be lifted up will draw all men unto myself ” (John 12:32). If this is not ongoing, within that “church,” its members have become complacent; lukewarm to which condition Jesus said, “I will spit you out of my mouth” (Revelations 3:16).
His plea is, come back if you have left me. “Return to your first love.” (Rev. 2:4).
He stood in the gap between our sin and the Father. We now, stand in the gap so that others may be brought in.
Am I born from above? Yes! I can tell you the very moment, and the day, and hour of my birth. Am I, then, a son of the Father? Yes! All Hell seeks to make us see ourselves as alone, independent; but we are utterly connected. This is the only reason we can bear fruit for the kingdom. Disconnected from Him we cannot.
To the question God asks, “Whom shall I send?” (Isaiah 6:8). We must respond, “Here am I, send me.” This is thoroughly Christ like. It is an essential of drawing near to God. It is just like God.
We are in the fleeting “Days of the Gentiles:” the “Last days” of opportunity as were the Jews before us. “Harden not your hearts as in the provocation,” was the message then, and is now (Hebrews 3:15).
The purpose of His life is joined by His church against whom the gates of Hell will not prevail. As with Him, so with his brethren, “The lame shall walk, the blind will see, and the poor will have the Gospel preached to them.”(Matthew 11:5)
Demons hate such boldness. Blinded ministers will hate it too; ‘ The whole world will follow after them.’ That is why it is virtually true to say, “As He is, so are we in the world” (1 John 4:17). His passion for mankind has not changed, and must find expression in the church.
We are missionary evangelists to America. We are looking for ways to increase our outreach. If the Lord has put it on your hearts, please help us.

Great reminder to me, my friend. “I Will Build My Church” is a declaration, but it’s also a process. “Glory to glory” is how Paul said it. We fall, and we get up. We fall, and we get up; pressing on toward the HIGH calling.
