Will I Have To Tell?

February 11, 2011

Jim was sharing the gospel with Kerri. He told her she was separated from a holy God because of her sin, and that Jesus had died and risen for her salvation. She kept coming up with one reason not to believe: “But if I do receive Him, I won’t have to tell other people about it, will I? I don’t want to do that.” She said that didn’t fit her personality; she didn’t want to have to tell others about Jesus.

Jim explained that promising to witness about Jesus wasn’t a requirement before receiving Him. But he also said that once she came to know the Lord, Kerri would become His ambassador to the world (2 Cor. 5:20).

After talking a little longer, Kerri acknowledged her need for salvation through Christ. She went home excited and at peace. Funny thing happened—within 24 hours she told three people about what God had done in her life.

Because we have been reconciled to God through Jesus, we now have “the ministry of reconciliation,” according to the apostle Paul (v.18). We are His ambassadors, and therefore we implore people “on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God” (v.20).

When we’re thankful, we want to share what God has done.

I love to tell the story,
For some have never heard
The message of salvation
From God’s own holy Word. —Hankey

There’s no better news than the gospel— spread the word! Read: 2 Corinthians 5:12-21

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. —2 Corinthians 5:17

Bible in a year:
Leviticus 11-12; Matthew 26:1-25

A cup of hot chocolate
In a red, heart shaped mug
To show support for our Troops
this "Valentine" Friday

[WayzataJOHNN]

Great Minds

That pretty much sums it up, I’d say.
(setting aside any false modesty of course.)

A few years ago, I read a quote by Isaac Asimov,

“We are at our most self centered when we are depressed.”

Cause and effect in one. Self focus.

There is another quote I faintly recall, ‘a joy shared is doubled, a tragedy/hurt/ burden shared is halved.’ I agree.

For most of us life is good and ordinary. Neither peaks nor valleys, but fairly level expectations and results. Secure in the knowledge God is in control.
