When God calls his children to reach and bring someone into the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ,

he does not use the word anyone because that is a question which calls for action,

which is wonderful as it is. It is different when God is calling you as a believer

to be his servant, his ambassador, his spokesman, and rather he call you by name. Not anyone, but he'll say,

Bob, Joe, Sue, Bar. He will call you specifically by name.

And he calls you by name because his saving plan is not just a call for action, important as it may be.

But because God already knows what he's about to accomplish in the lives of those

who are around you. And therefore, in his sovereign will, he wants you by name to be an instrument

to bring that certain individual to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. In his sovereign will,

he wants you by name to be an instrument to bring about the greatest miracle that we can ever

experience. And the greatest miracle some of you are asking is what? Is salvation? That's the

greatest miracle that we can experience. In fact, I want to tell you that the greatest miracle in

the book of Jonah was not the storm. It was not the fact that Jonah survived in the belly of the great fish for three days.

It was not even the mode of transportation by which God brought him to Nineveh, but the greatest

miracle in the book of Jonah is the salvation of the Ninevites.

That's the greatest miracle of all.

This will be like the president of Iran.

Go on national television and say to all the Iranian people,

we now believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

He is the only way to salvation.

He is the only way to heaven.

And we call upon all the Iranian people to repent and turn to the Lord.
