Earlier today when I was mowing my lawn kept singing the first line of “All My Life” by Foofighters:
“All my life I’ve been searching for something…”
Then it hit me – I’VE GOT WHAT HE’S SEARCHING FOR!
Christians, the world around us is truly searching for Jesus – they just don’t know it. They’re not interested in the Jesus that shakes his finger at anyone who sins and takes the fun out of life. They’re searching for a Jesus that is loving, just, accepting, sovereign and brings fulfillment and revolutionizes lives. Why don’t we give them what they are searching for? (Maybe you haven’t even let Jesus REVOLUTIONIZE your life???)
The key to evangelism is not standing on a soapbox declaring “The End is Near” or knocking on doors (although if that works – more power to you). The key to evangelism in every situation is to show the one that is seeking for Truth that Jesus is the Truth they’re looking for. People around us are already looking for Jesus – they just don’t know it.
Great post! This is why in the heroes section of my myspace page I say: “Jesus is everyone’s hero even if they don’t know it.” Jesus is the hero of the whole world, he came to die so that even people who don’t know they need a saviour will one day see that and accept him and truly live a life of freedom! The Bible says that one day all men will call upon His name, as Christians we must stand ready to let people know what to do as they get to the point in their lives when they know they need a saviour. It’s different for everyone but when it comes, Jesus is the only Truth that can set you free! If you don’t know this yet, contact the author of this blog so he can introduce you to our Saviour!! 🙂
