Witnessing…

It Has Eternal Implications

 

"…And now, in obedience to the Holy Spirit I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit has warned me that prison and troubles wait for me. But I reckon my own life to be worth nothing to me; I only want to complete my mission and finish the work that the Lord Jesus gave me to do, which is to declare the Good News about the grace of God."

"I have gone about among all of you, preaching the Kingdom of God. And now I know that none of you will ever see me again. So I solemnly declare to you this very day: if any of you should be lost, I am not responsible. For I have not held back from announcing to you the whole purpose of God. So keep watch over yourselves and over all the flock which the Holy Spirit has placed in your care. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he made his own through the sacrificial death of his Son. I know that after I leave, fierce wolves will come among you, and they will not spare the flock…"

Acts 20:22-29

It is our job to tell the world about the saving power of Jesus. We can see Paul as an example of one who carried out his mission.

Life seems so comfortable at times – so certain – that we move along each day without thinking of the eternal implications for others. And sometimes we bask in the assurance of our own salvation, forgetting that most people we meet do not have the same hope that we have in Christ Jesus.

Is there someone you need to talk to about Jesus today – before it is too late?

You can be a messenger for the Good News.
