“But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who send Me. John 15:21

 

In one of my monthly publications I receive, “The Voice of Martyrs”, I read about Christians who’ve surrendered their life to share the gospel with those outside the faith. Many of these people are severely persecuted for their faith and kicked out of their families, often mistreated and some have even died for their faith. The average person reading these stories are probably thinking they would not have the courage to go into uncharted territories to share the gospel. Some would simply ask why risk life.

 

Just like in battle, soldiers can’t just surrender, they must forge on, even though the ones alongside them die in the fight to advance the mission. These brave missionaries know the cost to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Unless someone is willing to give their all, how will those outside the faith know God the Father through Jesus Christ?

 

Your little world might not be as dramatic, but you are no less important than those on the front lines, risking their all to give the unknowing, hope of salvation. Every day you walk through life, touching the lives of those around you. Do they know God the Father and the loving sacrifice of Jesus? You should be quick to share the good news of Him who saved you! They won’t know unless you tell them through words and your actions. Share the good news today, they need to know the truth! God bless!
