Lord, Do Not Pass Me By 

(Ge 18:3; Lk 18:37-43) 



God is the Lord of grace. 

Grace comes from Him(Jn 1:14, Jn 1:16), and 

He gives abundantly to those who know grace. 



Faith is knowing that every good and perfect gift comes from God and welcoming it(Jas 1:17), and 

The life of this faith is experiencing this and becoming a witness of the gospel of His grace(Ac 20:24). 



If in the world, those who bring good things 

Receive a great welcome as guests, 

Then, how much for God who gives the best? 



Though Adam received the gift of governing the abundant Garden(Ge 2:15-17, Ge 2:24), 

He ate the forbidden fruit and, 

Thus, he was banished from the Garden, losing everything. 



At the age 75, Abram followed the word of God who promised him that 

He would be made a beginning of blessing; therefore he 

Left his father and land not knowing where he was going(Ge 12:1-4). 



Later, when he saw the Lord appearing near his tent, 

He considered it grace and ran out, asking the Lord to not pass him by. 

He invited in the Lord and received the blessing of a son at the age of 100(Ge 18:1-15). 



His nephew Lot also invited the angels who came to him and 

Later he was led out by them out of the destruction of Sodom(Ge 19:1-16). 



The sanctuary, where the name of the Lord God was placed, was 

A reminder of God's favor for them. 



Jesus said, "Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days(Jn 2:19), because 

Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body, 

He would give the best gift to all those who receive(Jn 1:12) for 

He is the Son of God, the incarnate Word(Jn 1:14) who Came according to the prophecy to pass through the world(Am 5:17). 



As He died, Jesus said, "It is finished(Jn 19:30), declaring that He: 

1. Laid down His life according to the Father's word(Jn 10:17); 

2. Condemned the origin of sin(1Jn 3:8); and 

3. With His blood redeemed all men(Mt 20:28). 

He rose and ascended 

To the throne of grace in heaven(He 4:16). 



The Spirit of grace comes to those who were 

Preached to and believed(Rm 10:13-14) and 

Lets them know that they have received every good and perfect gift. 



Christians are those who 

Welcomed the coming of Christ in the flesh and His suffering as grace(Eph 1:7), and 

Gave thanks for that moment when the Lord approached them through preachers(Ac 8:29-31). 

Therefore, they go out to seek others to preach this gospel of His grace, and 

Cry out the name Yeshua for they do not want the Lord to pass them by(Mk 6:48-56; Lk 18:37-43). 



O Lord, 

Do not pass me by. 

Do not pass me by when I worship, pray, repent, give dedication, and cry out to You. 

Do not pass by my family and all those You have given me! 

Amen.
