Good News

Good News always travels fast. It's true. If someone has just got engaged, you will hear about it within that day. When someone has a baby we are almost instantly aware of it. We know birthdays before they're happening. We all love good news. We text people about it. We post statuses about it on Facebook. We tweet about it. So why is that Christians aren't sharing what they believe is good news? Why aren't they sharing news about Jesus? Closet Christians seem to be pretty common these days. Something I have been really realizing here is that Jesus isn't something we should keep to ourselves. Jesus changes lives. And it is so selfish that people do not want to share that love with others. I know we fear rejection, criticism and negativity. But if you are so utterly convinced that Jesus saves, that there is an eternal life out there for people who seek him , why aren't you telling people about Him? About how he has changed your life?

You see a truck driving right at someone in the street, you know you have to save them or they will die. If you are so convinced as a Christian that Jesus saves, why aren't you showing people that? We are not here to convert people. We are not here to go all super preacher on them. We are here to show them what Christ has shown us. Our job is to love. Our job is to sow a seed.
