“How
beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings,
that publisheth peace; that bringeth
good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; and that saith unto Zion, Thy
God reigneth”! (Isa 52:7; KJV)
Paul
uses this beautiful verse in his letter to the Romans as an exhortation to
evangelism (Rom 10:15). He asks how non-Christians can believe if no one ever
goes to tell them about Jesus and all that Jesus did for them (Rom 10:14-15).
We are all ambassadors for Christ (2 Cor 5: 20) and God wants to reach people
through us.
As
Christians, God has given each of us the ministry of reconciliation. (2 Cor
5:11) We are to explain the route to relationship with God to those God brings
across our path. In fact, God commanded us to go to all the world and preach
the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15). He told us to make disciples of
every nation (Matt 28:19).
Ask
God to give you a divine appointment each day to share the love of God and His
word with someone. Don’t be afraid, He will give you the words to say! (Matt
10:19) Just do it.
Not
everyone will receive Christ the first time a Christian shares with them;
someone will sow the word, others water and cultivate and yet others reap the
harvest (1Cor 3:6). We just need to hear from God and do our part. Sharing
Jesus is so much fun for us and for the angels in heaven (Luke 15:7).
