I listen to AFR (American Family Radio) most of the time while I'm in the van and for the past couple weeks they've been playing a soundbite of Penn from the comedy duo Penn and Teller. Mr. Penn is a devout atheist and in the soundbite he says that if he could see that a speeding bus was coming to hit someone, that at some point he would have to tell them, and then move them (if they didn't listen) out of harms way. This was very profound, especially coming from an atheist. Obviously he was comparing the bus to hell and pushing the person out of the way to sharing Christ.
That's exactly what we as Christians are lacking in. If we truly believe what we say we believe why don't we share it whatever the cost? There is no answer that can justify not sharing Him. Jesus is the Savior of the world, the only Savior, the only way to escape spending eternity in hell. If a person dies and they don't know Jesus as their Savior, they are going to hell. So why am I not shouting it from the rooftops? Why am I not telling everyone, and I mean everyone who I come into contact with about Jesus? I couldn't even come close to giving an answer to that question. All I know is that by not screaming BUS at the top of my lungs I'm responsible for someone's eternal damnation.
Sharing Jesus is the most important thing we can do but how do I do it? I can't just go up to an unbeliever and shake them until they believe. I also can't decide who deserves salvation and who doesn't. God's word says that He's not willing that any should parish, but that all should come to Christ. ALL!
As I'm reading over this I find that my own words are convicting me. I haven't done much to bring anyone to Jesus at all. Dear God please forgive me. Please change me and please help me to serve You wholeheartedly. Please help me to share Your word and truth with ALL who I come into contact with. Help me, Lord, to be a fearless servant. In Jesus sweet name, AMEN!
