2 Kings 15-16 contains many kings who served Israel and Judah. Each king is characterized to have been serving God either with most of his heart or none of his heart. For instance, King Azariah in 1:3 is said to have done that which was right in the Lord's eyes, however v. 4 says that he did not remove all of the high places (this would have displeased the Lord). Thus King Azariah was a man who served God with most of his heart. Other kings are said to have done evil or that which was not right in the Lord's eyes (15:9, 16:2, etc.). So, we will, like all these kings, leave a legacy behind. When it is all said and done, will people say or more importantly will God say that we served Him with all of our heart?
In John 3, we find a curious man by the name of Nicodemus who does not understand Jesus's teaching (John 3:10). Jesus point blank explains to him the way of salvation (3:16-18). We have many people around us who are starving for truth. Are we taking time out of our busy schedules to explain the "good news?"
