Share Jesus - Go & Give LifeSample

Who should I tell?

If you have been a follower of Jesus for some time now, you will no doubt have heard stories of mission work in distant lands and previously unreached people groups where a Christian brought the message of Jesus and saw radical transformation.

Encouraging isn’t it? Yes, and possibly no.

You may be asking yourself, “What far away village can I reach? If only God would send me somewhere like that, then I would totally be a missionary and see those amazing things happen!” Perhaps we start (mis)quoting Isaiah: “Send me Lord, I will go!”

In today’s Bible reading, we are at the end of one such incredible transformation, where a demon-possessed and isolated man is restored and healed by Jesus; a picture of the gospel at work. The man responds as we do: “Jesus, take me with you to the other side.” He wanted to leave his home and become be a missionary with Jesus in a far away land. Seems like a good request, right? But Jesus says no.

The first place Jesus asked this man to spread the news of his transformation was right where he was, with his family and friends, in his home.

You and I are already right where we need to be in order to share the gospel. You have everything you need in order to be a missionary. It’s time to start telling of “the good things the Lord has done for you” right where you are.

Think through the family, neighborhood, school or workplace God has placed you in, and ask God to give you opportunities to share His good news with those around you. Take a moment to watch this video, be encouraged by Sam’s amazing story, and share your hope in Jesus today.
