The message is the same - the methods never are.
True statement: Jesus Christ died on a cross, suffered a horrible death, all because He loves you and me.
Many atheists have tried to disprove the above statement, only to find themselves at the feet of Jesus, asking for forgiveness, and giving their life to Christ.
The culture we live in today is dramatically different than it was 2000 years ago, or is it? God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. His love for us never changes.
As a Christian who loves God, it is our duty, commanded by God, to go out into the world and tell others about God’s son, Jesus.
The message hasn’t changed since the beginning of time, but how we tell it has.
I admit that the hardest thing for me to do is to witness to others. But, I can also confess that it is getting easier. Having served on 3 mission trips has helped me greatly. The advantage, for me, is that most people in the Peruvian villages I visited, have never heard about Jesus.
The joy of giving my testimony, telling others how Jesus saved me and blesses me, and then, them giving their life to Christ, is the most honorable blessing I could ever receive this side of heaven.
The hard part of witnessing is to those closest to me.
So, I let God guide me. I live by example. I serve and give, not expecting anything in return. After all, the message of Jesus is a free gift.
Tell someone about Jesus today. It will be the greatest story they ever hear.
