As many of us know, for a 31-year-old young man, Charlie Kirk had a very deep and abiding faith. And why is that? I dare say for most his age today, that is not the norm. But Charlie thought that it should be. As did Erika, his wife. Charlie and Erika were on a mission. Actually, more of a commission than a mission. In fact, it was the Great Commission as stated in Matthew, Chapter 28 of the Holy Bible.
For young folks, both Charlie and Erika got it, and got it the right way. Charlie talked to young folks about his faith the same way he talked about politics. He sought to convince, not conquer. Politics was very important to Charlie, as he had a deep love for this country. But talking to people about matters of faith - that was very different indeed. Why? To convince someone to come out of the dark and into the light - had eternal benefits. So much so, that the Great Commission is a cornerstone of God's Word.
To come to the Lord and be a follower, is a wonderful way to live your life. But after this life passes, for followers of Jesus, the best is yet to come. Heaven. And Charlie and Erika were on a mission which many of us have adopted. Make Heaven crowded. Now truthfully, Heaven will never get crowded. But God wants as many as possible to live there with him. That is why the Great Commission is in the Bible.
Charlie Kirk lived his life for that purpose. Get people saved so they could know when it is all said and done, they can spend eternity in Heaven. The revival that Charlie Kirk started continues today. Is it exciting? Absolutely! To see young folk getting saved by the thousands, is always a sight to behold.
