But how about the person who's not a Christian? The person who has never REALLY heard the gospel. All they TRULY know, is that they have mocked some guy named Jesus and his followers.
Do you really think people, totally unfamiliar with Jesus, see Jesus, or just some guy with long hair and a beard? Do they see followers of Jesus as Christ like, even though they don't know Christ or what he's like? Or do they see some religious nuts trying to SELL people their religion?
I think we worry too much at times. I am a big prayer. God is bigger than you and me. Prayer is most powerful. He will raise the perfect laborer for that person with prayer. It is now reported many Muslims are having dreams opening up bibles and walking into churches. I believe this is our prayers in Christ. Wonderful.
