As I was preparing for our upcoming One-on-One Evangelism conference Luke 2:49 kept coming to mind.
2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?
Then I started thinking about a Job Fair. Businesses send their most knowledgeable employees to job fairs to best represent their business. At job fairs businesses are looking for recruits so they will display information about the business - what they do, employee benefits, what a great place to work etc.
We should live like we are constantly at a job fair - representing our Father's business - looking for recruits! We should be knowledge about our Father's business - The Kingdom of God. We should have a passion to
recruit as many as possible, we should share the
benefits of our Father's business, we should share how all are welcomed & how to become part of the Father's business.
We as Christ followers MUST become passionate about lost sinners - this is the Father's business. If it is His desire that all be saved - then we MUST have the same desire.
2:3 For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
2:5 For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
I believe it easy for Christ followers to completely believe in heaven, but some how disregard the reality of Hell. I believe once this reality really gets deep in our hearts we will grow in our passion for lost sinners or "Pre-Christ followers" & start sharing our faith with all we come in contact with.
We are privilege that God has chosen us as His method of spreading the Gospel of Jesus - He has
recruited us into His business - he could have chosen angles, but only redeemed sinners have a testimony (definition of testimony: evidence in support of a fact or statement; proof). He chose us to be His witnesses (definition of witness: to bear witness to; testify to; give or afford evidence of).
1:8But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Today I encourage you to pray that God will send someone in your path & you will have the courage to share your Father's business with them.
Be passionate about your Father's business - be prepared, knowledgeable & ready to give an answer for you hope.
3:15but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: `being' ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:
God bless.
