Leo's Letter to the Church's of America

Leo, A Servant of Jesus Christ

God chose me to be an apostle and He appointed me to write and preach the goodness. This good news is about His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. But the Holy Spirit proved that Jesus is the powerful Son of God because He was raised from death.

Jesus was kind to me and chose me to be a writer and apostle, so that people of all nations would obey and have faith. You Americans are some of those people chosen by Jesus Christ.

This letter is to all of you in America. God loves you and has chosen you to be His very own people.

I pray that God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ will be kind to you and will bless you with peace.

Leo called himself a servant, obeys the command of Jesus the chief among His apostles should be the servant of all. America, Good News is about a risen Savior from the grave, the long promised Christ completed the eternal plan to save believers. This proved that Jesus is the Son of God who could die for our sins. He is a living Savior.

Jesus chooses believers, instead of us choosing Him. Someday we will understand better what Leo writes here and in other places about that. For now lets be humble enough to accept the idea that God has us in mind for a very long time.

A Prayer of Thanksgiving

I thank God in the name of Jesus Christ for all of you. I do this because people everywhere in the world are talking about your faith. God sees how I never stop praying for you while I serve Him with all my heart and tell the good news about His Son.

In all my prayers, I ask God to make it possible for me to visit you. I want to see you and share with you the same blessing that God’s Spirit has given me. Then you will grow stronger in your faith. What I am saying is that we can encourage each other by the faith that is ours.

American, My friend, I want you to know that I have often planned to write but something has always kept me from doing it. I want to win followers to Christ in America. It doesn’t matter if people are civilized and educated or if they are uncivilized and uneducated.

I must tell you, I am eager to write all of you in America.

Leo prays a lot and so should you. God sees to it that our prayers for one another make a difference. Often the best thing we can do is pray for the needs of others, especially for things that we can’t help ourselves. Only God can convince people that they need Christ. Our words alone won’t do it, but prayer makes a difference.

American, Good news about Jesus is not only for the “civilized and educated,” but for the “uncivilized and uneducated.” The good news is for people regardless of their importance in the world. We must be careful not to make good news hard for people to understand. Even small children should be able to come to Jesus and be saved.
