Don't Sit Around. Go!



"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Matthew 28:19-20


Many Christians tend to shrivel up with fear at the mention of sharing Jesus with others. We hide behind excuses like, "I don't know enough about the Bible to answer every question."

Satan wants us to believe that we are not qualified. But when Jesus commanded us to "go and make disciples," he was telling us to simply be witnesses. And to be a witness, all we need to do is tell others what we have seen and heard in our own lives.

Christ wants to use each one of us to take part in offering the world the best news they will ever hear. And when we talk to others about Jesus' impact in our own lives, we open the door for them to experience the grace and mercy of God that will transform their lives.

Don't convince yourself that you aren't qualified to talk about Christ. If he's changed your life, then he's qualified you. Simply look for opportunities to share the good news of Christ. And give those people around you the chance to experience the change themselves.

Go!
