The third and final night of our Rooster Days outreach brought us across the path of so many sheep without a shepherd, wandering rather aimlessly in life, oblivious to their eternal fate. We had many wonderful encounters this evening and many great opportunities to share the full gospel.
At the end of the night, as we were about to leave, we shared with one last group of young adults. They thought they were going to heaven but really weren't sure about it. They threw out all kinds of things they felt might allow them to go to heaven--living a good life, praying, going to church ....
But, when I asked them what Jesus said to do to inherit eternal life, they looked at me blankly. They didn't know. When I told them the must repent and believe, one young man insisted, "break it down for me, break it down for me!" "Give it to me on a third grade level," he asked.
So, I gladly explained to all of them the full gospel, walking them through the law, showing them their great need for a savior, and sharing how Jesus paid for their sins on the cross so they don't have to, and explaining what it means to repent and believe. I broke it down for them. They said they believed, so I urged them to repent (cry out to God for forgiveness Ps. 51 style and turn from going their own to follow Jesus) before it's too late.
