Tell others

In Matt 28:19, Jesus told His disciples to go into all the world and preach the gospel, making disciples of all men and baptising them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit,.  This is a commission and life work for the Christian.  Everyday we get the opportunity to share Christ with those in our world.  We do it by the way that we live and what we say to others.   We say more with our lives then with our lips.  Jesus said that people would know we are His disciples by the way that we love each other.  Love is the greatest witness for Christ.  One time there was a man who wanted to win his friend to Christ.  First, he told his friend about Christ.  He laid out the plan of salvation and then he asked his friend if he wanted to know Christ.  His friend politely replied, "no."  The man was not discouraged.  As he was praying for his friend the Lord impressed him to just love his friend which he did.  About six months later his friend knocked on the man's door.  The man opened the door and after a few minutes of small talk, the friend asked him if he could give his life to Christ.  The man said, "of course."  This man lead his friend to Christ and both were joyful. A couple of weeks later this man was curious about why his friend came to Christ.  He asked him and his friend said, " I came to Christ because you not only told me but you lived your Christianity out before me"  So today don't just tell people live your Christianity out as well.
