WHY ARE WE HERE
Why are YOU here? On this earth – in THIS country – residing in THIS town – knowing the people that you know?
I know the answer.
To share the good news of Jesus with everyone you meet – everyone you know – everyone you come in contact with!
Do you do it? I don’t. I need to.
Why is it so hard – the people in my life are people that I want to go to heaven – to escape the eternity of hell we all deserve.
There are people that aren’t in my life – that I have never met – the need to know Jesus. EVERYONE needs to know Jesus – everyone needs to be spared the eternity of hell.
Why is it that I can’t talk to my best friends about the importance of accepting Jesus – my grandparents – my aunts and uncles?
Why is it that I can write about it so openly on here – it’s not anonymous – you know who I am.
My aunt L – my DEAR aunt L – recently started an evangelism class. In her class there was a challenge – to share the love of Christ with one person you didn’t know that week. Most of the time I think it’s much easier to share with someone you don’t know than someone you do. If you share with someone you don’t know and they think you are crazy – you don’t have to see them again – most likely! When you share your love of Jesus with someone you know – someone you are close to – and they think you are crazy – you don’t have anywhere to go!
And that reason alone is one of the big reasons why I don’t share the way I should – which is weird because I normally don’t care what people think of me!
So here goes with the first step!
God created the universe – every last ounce of matter! He created you and me. He loves you and me. We sin – every day. Sin separates us from God – Jesus bridges that gap. Jesus is God’s son – who died – for you and me. He takes on our sin so that we don’t have to live in hell for eternity – be separated from God. Ask Him into your heart – ask Him into your life! Ask Him to CHANGE your life – to change the way you think – the way you interact – the way you LIVE!
You will not regret it!!
So I leave you with this challenge – this week share Jesus with someone you don’t know – let me know how it goes!
Next week – share with someone you DO know – someone that doesn’t know Jesus – let me know how it goes!
Praying for your encounters!!
