“Jesus may not walk up to you on the playground tomorrow.
But once you pray and ask Him into your heart, He%u2019s with you every
day in the truth of His Word and in the presence of His Holy Spirit.
And He still wants you to tell the people around you about Him.
One of the last things Jesus told His disciples was to %u201Cgo and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey
everything I have commanded you (Matthew 28:19-20).
Telling others about Jesus Christ doesn’t have to take an
in-your-face approach. Jesus demonstrates with Andrew and John
that it can be a simple invitation: %u201CCome and see for
yourself. Then when Andrew wants his friend to understand
Jesus power, he simply says, Come and see.
You don’t have to preach, be a Bible scholar, hand out tracts or
participate in public demonstrations to tell others about Jesus. It
doesn’t take arguing, arm-twisting or demanding just a simple
invitation of Come and see.
Can you think of someone to invite to Sunday school, a youth
meeting or church service? If you do your part by inviting others, the
Holy Spirit is guaranteed to work in their lives . . . just wait and see!”
