A Reflection on Pastor Arfan Bashir’s Sermon

Pastor Arfan Bashir of Jehovah Saints Church in Jaranwala, Pakistan, recently shared some photos of his congregation with me. It was heartwarming to see how engaged and attentive the congregation was as they responded to his sermon. His message was based on Matthew 3:2, which says, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

This verse is a powerful reminder of the call to repentance and the urgency of preparing ourselves for God’s kingdom. Pastor Bashir’s sermon emphasized the importance of turning away from sin and aligning our hearts with God’s will. It is a message of hope and transformation, urging us to live in a way that reflects the nearness of God’s kingdom.

The photos he shared captured the congregation’s heartfelt response to this message. It was clear that the words spoken resonated deeply, inspiring reflection and a renewed commitment to faith. Seeing these images reminded me of the global nature of God’s church and how believers everywhere are united by the same gospel message.

Matthew 3:2 challenges us to examine our lives and make changes where needed. As the Apostle Peter writes in 2 Peter 3:9, “The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.” 

This shows God’s immense love and patience, giving us the opportunity to turn back to Him.

I am grateful for Pastor Bashir’s dedication to spreading the gospel and for the faithfulness of his congregation. Their example reminds us of the importance of coming together as a community to worship, learn, and grow in our walk with Christ.

Let us continue to pray for Pastor Bashir, his congregation, and all those who are working to share the message of repentance and hope in Christ. May their efforts bear much fruit, and may we all be encouraged to live lives that reflect the nearness of God’s kingdom.
