Telling Others About Jesus

It's very easy to complain and get negative these days.  It is very easy to find ourselves discouraged as we see all the anger and the bickering back and forth between our leaders and sometimes the people around us.  It is in times such as these that we need to remember that this world is not our home and our hope is not found in this world.  Our hope is securely established in the Lord Jesus Christ who shed His blood on the Cross for our sins, rose from the dead on the third day, and will one day return to this earth as the King of kings and Lord of lords.

While we believers are in this world we have a job to do.  That job is to point people to the Lord Jesus Christ in hopes that they will repent of their sins and trust Jesus as their Lord and Savior.  Sometimes we believers fail at this miserably.  There are many people in churches today that think that it is the Pastor's job to tell others about Jesus and therefore they are off the hook sort of speak.  The Great Commission is for all believers in Christ Jesus and not just Pastors and leaders of a church body.  We are all called to tell others about Jesus Christ and their need to repent of their sins and trust Him as their Lord and Savior.

When we just tell someone to just believe in God and put Him in your heart we are falling short of telling the person of what they truly need.  They need Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.  It is only by the shed blood of Jesus Christ that we must be saved by.  There is no other Name under Heaven in which people must be saved by and that Name is Jesus Christ.

The Body of Christ seems to have lost it's influence in today's society that we once had.  The Church needs a revival of the Holy Spirit in the lives of every believer and we need to stand firmly upon the truth of God's Holy Word, the Bible.  Many have gone astray and wandered into liberalism where everything goes.  We must get back to the truth and rediscover the true living God who reveals Himself in Creation and through the Bible.

Lord,
You are our hope.
Help us to have the courage to tell others about Jesus Christ and His love for them.
Help us to tell others about their need for Jesus.
Empower us through Your Holy Spirit to spread the Gospel where we live and throughout the world.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
