It’s time to break out!
Jesus made a classic statement, actually it is a ‘new commandment’, Jhn 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. Jesus went onto say that by this commandment being done, lived out, put into action, the world would know we are followers of Christ, Christians!
We live in a secure, closed, frightened community, where people, entire families live in recluse having no interaction with others except for buying selling or such mundane things. As Christians Jesus commanded us to go out into the world and preach the gospel…That in fact is showing our love for Christ and Christ’s love for the lost in action! It’s time for you and I as believers to ‘break out’ of the cocoon of our own selfish lives and actually literally share the gospel with someone. That is what a Christian actually does. Let us not enclose our lives with our own desires and things but let us obey Christ’s precious commandment. Today, tonight, first thing tomorrow, e-mail, sms, text, twitter, verbally share the greatest story ever told. Tell someone that Christ came into their world, suffered and died for their sins and powerfully rose from the dead three days later and promises new life and forgiveness to all who would receive His love.
Don’t put it off, write a letter, phone your precious son or daughter, your mum or dad and tell them of the love that God has for them. Don’t worry about what they may say, don’t consider if they might not listen – it takes someone to love someone as Christ commanded us for another soul to receive God’s precious grace as we have. Do it now! It’s time to break out and love as Christ loved us and gave Himself for us. As you obey God’s command..there will be a soul saved because of it!
