If two men come into the emergency room, one with a cold and one
with a gunshot wound, which one should we help first? It is simply
obvious that we should help the one in the most need. More then likely
though, the one who is shot with a gun will require more attention then
if you decide to help the one with a cold. The person with a cold can
probably find some medicine elsewhere and can be easily treated... but the man who has a gunshot wound isn't as likely to be able to care for himself.
This is the same view that we should have toward the lost people in
this world. When we look at the world and see an area that has less
resources and less evangelism and less access to the gospel then another
who does have access and does have resources, it should be obvious to
us that we should pursue the one that has the greatest need. But if
you choose to help the one with the greater need it will take more work
and time and hardship to be able to complete the job as opposed to the
one that doesn't have as great of a need.
God will be glorified by every people group on this planet. What part are you going to play in His symphony?
