All around us

I have been thinking about all the people around us every day who do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Our neighbors, the people that walk up and down our street, the postal worker, the guy at the gas station, the cashier at Shoprite or Walmart. Family and friends that we have known all our lives. Each of them have something in common. They all don't know Jesus and according to Revelation 20:15 their eternal destiny will be in the lake of fire. So how is God going to reach all these people that we come in contact with? All these people have something else in common. Each of us come in contact with them each and every day. Jesus told the disciples to be witnesses about him. The woman at the well in John 4 brought an entire town to Jesus by sharing about what he had said to her. She had no Biblical training, she had no degree. She just told others about the good things God had done for her. She cared enough about those back in town, a town that may have ostracized her, to share the good news. What is it going to take for you to share the good news with the people you come in contact with? What is stopping you from talking about what Jesus has done for you recently with a family member or someone you run into at Target? Jesus called his disciples to come follow him and he would make us fishers of men. If we never cast the net we can never actually catch a fish. I encourage you to think about those people you run into often and pray that God would open the opportunity for you to share what God has been doing in your life.
