Two Fearful Servants

Our hearts were pounding!

Donna and Lorie wanted to spend some time together. Instead of going for a manicure or meeting for lunch, they decided to go witnessing at the local park last night! The following is the short story of God's blessing on their obedience to follow the great commission Mark 16:15.

God is so good! Well here we go. Our hearts are pounding, but here we go. We started to approach 3 teenage girls which quickly turns to 5 teenagers, which soon turns into a crowd of maybe 12-15 teens. We show them a million dollar bill and offer it to them as a gift. They were so thrilled to have it and some wanted to know if they could spend it. Ha!

The Law

So, we went through the law of the ten commandments with them, and many if not all raised there hands to say yes I have lied, stolen things, and taken the Lords name in vain. As the reality set in that they were not a good person as they thought they were before we started, many were listening to every word. When we asked them if it was judgment day and they were being judged on these commandments that they broke would they be guilty or innocent. They knew they were guilty and would go to hell.

One girl said, "But I don't want to go to hell". We were then able to share about God's gift of salvation, and what He did on the cross so they wouldn't have to go to hell. Explaining that salvation is a gift like the million dollar bill. They had a choice to receive or reject our gift, and that Jesus will not force us to receive Him either.

What if I don't believe?

One person asked "what if I'm not sure if I believe in God cause He has never done anything to help me"? We explained that even if you don't believe, that doesn't change the truth and the reality of Jesus Christ. Just like jumping out of a 2 story building; even if you don't believe in gravity the truth is you will go splat.

Some teens were wandering in & out, but many were still very focused on all that was being discussed. We asked if any wanted to pray and receive Christ into their hearts. I heard one say "I want to pray", there may have been more, God knows. So we prayed with them.

They were glad that we stopped to share with them, and we were so glad ourselves that we got to share Christ with them.

You won't know unless you go!

I think I stole that from Ivan Vansomebody from a Christian Surfing TV show.

Anyway, I am encouraging all you wanna be evangelists out there, that if Donna and Lorie can get out and share Christ with lost teenagers, then you can get out in your world, where ever that may be and open your mouth. Just pray for God to fill it and give you words of knowledge and or truth salted with compassion for the lost and dying souls you will be speaking to.

Jesus said, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20 NASB
