Be That Someone (Readings)
We all need someone to get us started; like the person that
helped us to obtain our first job or the one that encouraged that first date
with a true love. It
takes introduction to get us started.
Introducing others to Christ, it's what those who believe do.
John did. He saw Jesus walk by and told those around him “Behold
the Lamb of God.”
Andrew did. He found Simon Peter and said, “We have found the
messiah.”
Christians introduce Jesus Christ to others. Believers share the
gospel. They bring the living word of God to the world.
It is more than just quoting the Bible. The Bible is an important part to our faith, but Christianity is more. It's bringing the "Word" of God
that is not a written,
mute word but an incarnate and living “Word” to the world today.
The “Word of God” asks, “what are you looking for?” And Christ
speaks through the Holy Spirit to hearts, “come and follow me.”
Christians work in the middle between where people question and
when Christ speaks to their heart.
It is the place of Christian witness that points to the Lamb of
God. It is the time of opportunity to tell others about the messiah, the
Christ, the savior of the world. Someone has to introduce Christ to others. Someone has to get it started.
Every day people are introduced to immoral things. Someone
brings them to addiction, to abuse, to crime, and to other evils. Many introduce immorality to our
world. We are to avoid immorality to be temples of God; the place the word
resides. “Those joined to the Lord become one spirit with him.”
Our faith is not to be lived only here today, inside the walls
of this building. We
are living temples of God; the place the word resides.
Christians are to bring Christ Jesus to the broken, to the hurt,
to the sick, to the ones in crisis, to those considering ending the life of an
unborn child, to those considering ending their own life, and to those who
question “what am I looking for?”
We are not to live a mute and written gospel, but to be the
living and incarnate word of Christ; be someone that gets it started.
Yall be good, yall be holy, preach the gospel by the way you
live and love.Here I am Lord, I come to do your will.
