Today in chapel, our speaker gave us an analogy for evangelism. She said, what if you had the cure for cancer? Wouldn't you want to tell everyone?! Well, we Christians have what everyone needs- the good news of Jesus Christ. Personally, I think that Jesus Christ is more important that the cure for cancer. Sickness is temporary. Eternity is forever. Plus, once we enter Heaven, we won't have to worry about sickness. There are people in the world who haven't heard about Jesus or don't want to believe in Him. We know what is needed to get to heaven, so why not share it with the world? We don't have all the time in the world to tell people. We need to get out there and spread God's word with everyone. Don't let being shy hold you back. God will work through you and He will give you the words to speak. Moses wasn't a good speaker, but he still followed the Lord's commands and led the Israelites out of Egypt. No one should let the fear of striking out keep them from playing the game. God wants us to lead others to Him. That's our job as Christians.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, - Matthew 28:19
He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. - Mark 16:15-16
